Rhys hasn't trusted a machine since a processing time caused the life of his partner. Now returned to work his punishment is to have a new Syn unit as his full time partner. He doesn't trust her, but she has saved him a couple times without the previous models processing issue. Now, murders are cropping up around town as robots believe they are feeling things for their humans and are being rejected.
I ran across this book being posted in one of my book groups and thought it would be a cute read. I read the entire thing, but I have some problems with it. My biggest issue with the book is it is very obviously AI written. I do not ever want to read anything written by AI again and they REALLY need to be required to state it is somewhere on the Amazon page. Preferably in bold. I have went over the page a couple times and nowhere does it state that this book is anything other than written by a human. Trust, it's not.
If we ignore that glaring fact it isn't a bad book. I have read a few books that were actually written about robots gaining enough sentience to have feelings. Not generally murder in them, but it was a solid idea. I can't really get behind the child ones, but to each their own. It was syn child versus human so it wasn't an automatic no for me like is typical in my readings.
Honestly, if someone were to take the same concept and actually write it I wouldn't have been complaining about the book. As it is, read it if you want.
