Drag Me Down (Full Throttle Cyborgs Series) by Landra Graf – Review by Mandy Ott

Drag Me Down can definitely be read as a standalone. I did not read the first three books in The Full Throttle Cyborgs series, but felt like I wasn’t missing out on much background information. I did, however, enjoy this book so much that I would love to go back and read the previous three in the series. Drag and Bridget’s story is full of passion, love, betrayal, distrust, and a whole lot of drama. This particular sci-fi series takes place on Mars (so many questions regarding that) and seems almost as if humanity has backtracked in their way of thinking and living (not wanting women to hold power or participate in any manual labor). However, Drag and Bridget think a little differently, which is refreshing. Landra Graf’s world building is great; I could feel myself in the heat of the day on Mars or the middle of the dome watching the car races. And the characters, while a little out there (it is sci-fi after all), are realistic, believable, and I couldn’t help but feel a connection with them. There is such a deep connection between Drag and Bridget that goes beyond the purely physical and it is, at times, heartbreaking to see the war that rages inside them both at their fear of being betrayed by the other. Overall, a great read for fans of sci-fi and romance alike. And I’m definitely going to pick up the rest of the series!
