This book has sci-fi and action. It is a military story.
Give ’em a good thrashing! Allied Forces—including the 142nd Mobile Special Ops Team, often known as Daire’s Devils—stand poised to protect the disputed colony planet Demeter against military invasion and corporate exploitation at the furthest reaches of the cosmos. When those seeking to steal the top-secret plans of AeroCom’s new prototype flagship, the Cromwell, infiltrate the ranks, Corporal Katrion Alexander, the Devils’ newest member, finds herself up against an unexpected threat: synthetic operatives indistinguishable from live people. She and the Devils must stop this new menace, but how can they do it when the opponent has a familiar face?
I loved this story. I loved every page of it. Every chapter was exciting. This is my first book from this author and I can’t wait to read the rest of her books.

This book was a good read, and a fun one in fact I would like to say. The book gave us engaging characters. And the author knew how to keep us as the reader interested, and our toes in fact. I loved how each event led to something new, and questions of trusting your own constantly arose. Fantastic read!
I loved how the book is about a military, which was different from past books I have read that have been more less in the sci-fi genre. I found that alone gave the plot and atmosphere a different take rather than I would expect the story to be. The group we got to read about, I would say there were so realistic to me, they defended what they had to, no matter what. They were courageous and stood for something.
Something that I also really enjoyed was the constant questioning as I briefly touched on. I found that within this group there reasons for trust issues. And made myself wonder who could be a snake and who is actually true to their word? The story kept flowing really well and I could not put it down!
Wonderful and action packed read! I loved this book and this amazing author and I do highly recommend you read this book, as well as look into works by this author. They crafted this book so perfectly as well, it was one I really had a good time reading, and I will be looking forward to read more of their work!

Kat is a badass when she finds they have been infiltrated by a force that has taken over top ranks to get to their secrets. The challenge is what happens when they are the face of the ones you know? Having been booted from her ship and running flight control, she doesn’t let anything hold her back. Written with power to grab you right from the start, you are sucked right into the story and don’t want to miss anything. Kat is such a strong character that she is very relatable. The other characters are well-written to be support players. A few glitches in plot help to give it just the right thrill, such as Commander Glei not showing up in the reflection and his fingers always plucking at something. I loved this book. Though not my usual genre, this author has gained a fan. Get out and read this one. Click that button. You’ll find it’s worth it.

Daire’s Devils by Danielle Ackley-McPhail is an epic military sci-fi story full of action and adventure. I know from reading this story, and the intro that came at the beginning, that Daire’s Devils is set in, and based on a RPG game and it’s ‘world’- and I definitely think this would make a great game, or even a movie/series. The author’s detailed descriptions brought this futuristic space adventure to life, and I loved all the action and adventure. The characters were really great, and it was easy to get absorbed by the story, although there were parts where the story felt rushed, or skimmed over- but overall, it was an enjoyable read. So, if you love sci-fi military adventures that take you to the farthest reaches of the galaxy to join a crack squad who are tasked with defending a colony who is under threat of invasion, then this is definitely the story for you. Add in some hidden agendas, politics, espionage, and treachery…. and things get interesting. Happy Reading!

This book is a die-hard military sci-fi and is the first book in the series. The author’s words and story building made it easy to imagine what was going on. The characters are hard not to like and they find themselves in plenty of action as they face an unexpected menace. Defending the colony planet in a plot that has some interesting concepts. The stakes are high but not all the threads are woven to finality leaving the door open for the other books in the series. This story is fast paced full of action. At times it felt a little rushed, so I had to reread some things as there was a lot of information to absorb.

Fantastic world building…in space! Even though we dropped right into the action, I was able to understand all the factions, each with just enough description to let me know which side of the playing field they stood on. Our main character is tough, she hangs on no matter what. If you like a heroine that fights for what’s right, knows her worth and gives her all, this story is for you. The author weaves the storylines together seamlessly, with enough background to provide motivation, loyalty, strengths and weaknesses.. all parts that make up a fabulous adventure!

I gave this book a try because I love sci-fi and anything with space. I did struggle with it because there was too much information and I feel like it took away from the story. The story was good it was just overshadowed with all the extra bits of trying to explain things.

I thought this was quite an exciting story that certainly had a lot packed into it. There were a few times I thought the pacing of the book wasn’t quite right bit I still found myself engaging with the story and the characters. I enjoyed the premise of the whole story and there were a couple of standout characters that really made it all the better. This is an enjoyable story for any fan of this genre.

This was a really good fast paced adventure. The author does an amazing job of describing the scenes to make the world out in space seem as realistic as possible. You feel yourself caught up in the story and guessing the motives of every character you meet. It’s a story about a special ops group called Daire’s devils. They are at the far ends of space protecting the colony from invaders. It seems a straight forward job until someone trys to get their hands on a new prototype aircraft. The problem is is the enemy someone from the outside or someone within their ranks.
It becomes a guessing game trying to unravel who is behind it all and leaves you feeling throughout that story that you can’t trust anyone even the people you think you know.

I enjoyed this fantasy story. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of the most enjoyable ones by this author that I have read. This is a well written story where enemies could just be someone you trust. A story where a group of special ops, Diarie’s Devils, are ready to defend their colony against an invasion like no other. This is a story that is fast paced and full of action. The characters are relatable and bring the story to life. This is an engaging story that was hard to put down. I enjoyed the growth of the plot throughout the story. I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it.

All I can say is wow. This book was so good. It was a roller coaster from beginning to end. Trevyn and Lael’s story was full of adventure and suspense. This novel was epic and if you love space adventures, epic adventure, and love then this is the book for you. I am putting this author on my must read list.

Great read! I definitely need to look into more from this author, because the the characters and the world are so complex that it feels like you have left the real world behind and are now living in the book. I will admit, I definitely skipped a few books in the series, so I can’t say if that would have made this a better experience or not, but I was able to keep up and understand the story none the less. The dynamic between Trevyn and Lael was so well done. I also love it when a book is told in multiple POVs and I definitely think it added to the story here. A fast paced, action filled read that will remain glued to your hands until you finish. Now, I must read the rest of the books in this series!

I’ll admit, I am not a huge Sci-Fi reader, but this book was awesome. I was invested from the very beginning. As if missing three hours of your life wasn’t confusing enough, the sequence of events that follow as Asia tries to uncover what happened and why was a roller coaster of emotion, action, and romance that I will definitely be reading again! The characters are all so complex and beautifully written, making it so easy to get hooked into the story. If you are thinking of taking a chance on this book, then my advice would be get a comfortable chair, a nice snack, and a warm beverage because when you start this book, you definitely wont want to put it down.

While I am not usually a Sci-Fi reader I thought that this sci-fi romance might change my mind and boy was I right. While I have not read the previous installments in this series it can be read as a stand alone but I do plan to read the previous four. This book was full of multiple Pov’s, two broken hearts, old wounds, slavery, shapeshifters and more it really pulled me in from the beginning and kept me turning the pages. This is the first book that I have read by this author but it will not be my last. This book was also full of suspense, mystery, and adventure, and this author weaves a beautiful story full of fantastic characters and a wonderful plot. So if you like Sci-fi or your looking for a new genre to try, I highly recommend this story.

I enjoyed this book. Lael Saphora is Hinarr, a race of people who can shapeshift into snow cats. Trevyn Dar is Thane, the race of people who subjugate the Hinarr, and who count hunting the Hinarr in their cat shapes to be the ultimate sport. Star-crossed is definitely a descriptor to use for them.
This story is more than a sci-fi romance, there is suspense, danger, and conspiracy everywhere. There are multiple factions Lael and Trevyn have to beware of, and they are forced to rely on each other to survive. There are interesting creatures, the settings are described vividly, and if you read the previous books, there are appearances by a few characters you might recognize. Definitely give this a read!

Frelick – Review by Katrina Evanochko
Trevyn Dar is from a planet called Thrane, he is one of the ruling class of the Thrane and is the son of one of the many Ruling Houses, the House of Dar, however, he isn’t anything like his father, known as the Butcher of the Four Systems, or brother and cannot understand their bloodlust or violent way of life, so he makes the decision to escape from that legendary heritage and strike out on his own and is now a member of the Interstellar Council of Abolition and Rescue. Lael Saphora is a woman also from the planet Thrane, however, she is from the other race who live on the planet, she is a Hinarr, a snow cat shifter who shares a mind and body with her Companion and who from a young age has experienced prejudice, violence and hatred from the ruling class who think because they don’t have telepathic abilities, that they are a lesser species and that they are only useful as something to hunt.
One day, Lael is bringing home a shipment of goods which her people are in need of, but on the way, she is arrested and detained by Rescue and her goods seized, however, when she sees that the person who has boarded her ship is a Thrane, she is even more angry. Meanwhile, Trevyn is trying to figure out why Lael has been arrested and when it is shown that she is a slaver, he knows that this is not possible because of her being a Hinarr and realises that she is a victim of an injustice in her own right, especially when he is told to deliver her to the Thrane Inquisitors for questioning. Trevyn knows that if she is sent back to Thrane that she faces torture and a slow and painful death at their hands, so even though he isn’t welcome on his home planet, he decides to escort her and delay her mistreatment as long as he can while he investigates the treasons for her arrest.
As Trevyn investigates and calls in some favours, he uncovers a deeper plot which encompasses more than just Thrane and has much farther reaching consequences than originally thought, but can a Thrane and a Hinarr overcome the barriers between them and a tragic past event to lead the Uprising, or will the conspirators win out in the end? This is a fast paced race to free the wrongly imprisoned before time runs out while love is trying to win over hate and prejudice in this story which will hook you in and take you on a whirlwind ride through rugged terrain and the peaks and troughs of an emotional rollercoaster all at the same time.

This was a really interesting read. The world building is unique and interesting and so was the storyline and plot. However, I don’t think this is meant to be a standalone, and I haven’t read any of the previous books in this series. The storyline felt like a standalone but I think all thr world building has been done in previous installments and I just feel like if I would have read them first I would have enjoyed this book more. This is a Sci-Fi novel, and one that is unique in my opinion just because I haven’t read another book like it before. Overall I did enjoy this book I just think I would have understood it better and enjoyed it more if I had read the first novels in the series before hand.

Sci-fi drama, supernatural and suspense This is the 5th book in the series. It’s full of suspense, intrigue and action. This story focuses on Trevyn and Lael and their journey to each other while fighting for their beliefs across the galaxy. Multiple POV, which I love, as it gives a depth to the storyline. There are new characters and it was also great to come across characters from previous books. This is a cleverly multi-layered and interwoven sci-fi story that easily draws the reader into a place that’s out of this world.

This is the fifth book in the series but I was able to pick it up and read it as a standalone. I’m sure I would have gotten even more impact if I’d read the previous books, as I understand some characters from those appear in this book. However, I didn’t feel like I was missing anything. Superb tension throughout the story. This book had more suspense in it than an entire eight book series I just read that was specifically supposed to be suspense. You don’t want to stop turning the pages, that’s for sure. I enjoyed that there was depth to the story outside of the romance as they are dealing with some serious subject matter. Good action. Great flow to the story. Excellent read.

5 Stars King of Pain (Interstellar Rescue Series Book 5) by Donna S. Frelick
King of Pain is the fifth book in the Interstellar Rescue Series . This is a wonderfully written Sci-Fi/ Romance that will pull you in from the beginning and kept me turning the pages till the end. I pretty much tuned everything around me out and focused solely on this book and all the things that were happening. I’m a huge fan of this author and she’s one of the reasons I got turned on to this genre. I used to not like to read Scifi but I liked watching certain Sci-Fi shows on television. I would recommend reading this series in order as it will help with what’s been going on but can be read as standalone. Grab yourself a drink and get ready for quite the ride with fast paced action packed Enemies to lovers and more. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Frelick – Review by Dawn Daughenbaugh
So let me tell you how book five makes way more sense now. This is an amazing series I need to read them all. This author is so dynamic I could not imagine everyone not reading this. If you love SCI-FI this is for you 100%. The romance and adventure its so dramatic that it seriously sucks you in. This author is masterful at world building. Read all of the books in order and you will not regret it. Don’t give up on this, there comes a point that the story lines all jumble wand chaos breaks out within the plot because it is so complex. I am guessing this entire series is just an add on of the story before. It is everything. I wish I read them in order. Five stars. Worth every word.

Frelick – Review by Corine Lombardi-Quiles
This was a very complex read that I enjoyed. This story is told from many point of views and that makes it dynamic and deep. The lies and romance gives an atmosphere of addiction. As the story goes on it gets better and better. This is book five of this series and I am a little disappointed because you obviously have to read the books in order. This author is great at creating worlds. I was interested because of the cover art but the story is worth it. With a female and male protagonist this story is well versed in character development and full of suspense. Creative and balanced that brings this world to life even though I did not read the rest of the series.

Frelick – Review by Corine Lombardi-Quiles
Very interesting read! I’m all for science fiction and this one is a very interesting concept. Its a very detailed story told from Tristans and the travelers point of view. I like how the book is broken up into different parts. I really enjoyed reading about the travelers journey. The story flows really well and was easy to follow. It will even pull on your heart strings a little! Definitely worth the read!

I was excited to start this fifth installment of the Interstellar Rescue Series. I have been following and reading from the very beginning, but you can enjoy this read on its own if you’d like without any hiccups. This author has a knack for world building and really makes you feel as if you are transported right into the novel as you read. I really felt as if I was along for the journey and it was quite the adventurous space travel that is for sure! I loved how this included so many different layers. From romance, intrigue, action, adventure, sci-fi moments that make you think, to racial indifferences and more. I was never bored and they all flowed so beautifully. I loved the characters and developed a soft spot in my heart for Lael. I look forward to seeing what will come next!

Frelick – Review by Liz Vrchota
This was my first book by this author and my first Sci-Fi romance read. At the beginning I was a little confused by the language, but that’s just because I’m not used to the genre. After the first chapter I had a good handle on understanding what was going on and I am glad I kept reading! This is such a good book and intro to Sci-Fi romance! It’s an engaging story that really keeps your attention. This book has sparked an interest in me to keep reading Sci-Fi romance novels.

King of Pain (Interstellar Rescue Series Book 5) by Donna S. Frelick. This was a fun book to read, I’m not a huge Sci Fi fan but I really enjoyed this story. It was the 5th book in the series and I believe it really helps to read them in order. This is the story of Trevyn Dar who is part of the Interstellar Rescue System and when he meets Lael sparks fly. Unkown to him Lael is determined to set her people free from slavery and they don’t hit it off on their first meet. Lael is also wanting to avenge her fathers death. Lael thinks Trevyn is her enemy and wants nothing to do with him. Can Lael and Trevyn get past their past lives to make a relationship work? There are broken hearts, broken promises, adventure, challenges and steamy scenes throughout this book. Old characters are immersed in the story as well. Such a fun series and this was one of my favorites. Do yourself a favor and read The Interstellar Rescue Series!

Frelick – Review by Tausha Treadway
This is the 5th book in the Interstellar Rescue Series and it was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning. Trevyn is part of the interstellar rescue operation and is sent to intercept a ship carrying weapons when he meets Lael. Lael is determined to free her people from slavery when she is caught. Is she really the enemy? There is something off about the situation and Trevyn is determined to find out what is going on. Will Trevyn get the answers he is looking for?
Overall I really enjoyed the storyline and all of the characters new and old. We got multiple POV and I really liked that, I feel like it adds more to the story when you can see what the characters are thinking. We get action, danger, adventure, romance and so much more. I was on the edge of my seat several times and we got some unexpected twists that added a great element to the story. The author does such a great job with her writing detail you feel like you’re right there with the characters. If you’re looking for a great sci-fi read. 1-click and get started today on this series. I look forward to reading more from this author.
