Review of No Reprieve:
[Following is a volunteer review of "No Reprieve:" by Inge-Lise Goss.]
Pellegrin has sent search parties out for Paislee while he gives The Founder a tour of the new facility. Satisfied, The Founder wants Pellegrin to oversee the facilities in Portland, Seattle, and San Francisco. He insists Pellegrin bring a female companion to appear as a family man. Pellegrin would take Paislee’s pregnant best friend, Kara, hoping to draw Paislee out of hiding.
Meanwhile, Paislee is undercover as “Renee Taylor.” Her initial task is to uncover the identities of the three criminal judges and determine if they are humans with loyalty chips or androids. Her current boyfriend, Tate, would collect her intel from her at random intervals. Paislee gains the trust of her supervisor, Randolph, the son of one of the judges. Randolph invites her to an award ceremony, providing her the chance to stealthily approach the judges. However, Paislee instantly becomes horrified to see Pellegrin and Kara at the ceremony.
Inge-Lise Goss’ No Reprieve: An A.I. Thriller is the second book in the No Freedom series. Androids from The Institute have infiltrated the world, seeking to control all human beings. Their appearance is deceptive, as they look human. Many leaders are implanted with loyalty chips, increasing the odds against the rebels. The suspense builds from the first page, building intensity as Paislee attempts to remain an asset to the rebel movement. Paislee’s impulsive decisions could blow her cover, and her paranoia borders on insanity.
No Reprieve: An A.I. Thriller's intense drama captivated me. I wouldn't change anything in this book. The inner turmoil Paislee feels is easy to understand. The emotional reactions of Pellegrin made me question if he was human. However, he also had some issues with understanding metaphors. For example, "Everyone wants your time," he didn't think anyone could literally take time from him. An android wouldn't understand the statement. Reading the cliffhanger ending made me eager to read the sequel. I rate this intriguing science fiction story five out of five stars.
Fans of science fiction books with intense action and futuristic artificial intelligence will enjoy No Reprieve: An A.I. Thriller. The graphic violence and fade-to-black sex scenes make this book better suited for young adult readers. Despite being the second book in a series, No Reprieve: An A.I. Thriller can be read as a standalone novel.

That got me thinking because some humans (people in the ASD spectrum, for example) have trouble with metaphors, sarcasm, and other forms of figurative speech. It's so weird that that could be a criterion to distinguish a human in the future!No Reprieve: An A.I. Thriller's intense drama captivated me. I wouldn't change anything in this book.
