Description

When you’re born without a trace, no one knows you’re a weapon.

I lie for her.

I hunt for her.

I kill for her.

And above all, I betray my mission for her.

She doesn’t know why. She doesn’t care why.

I do.

Treason comes in many forms.

Love is one of them.

Our training taught me to be a sociopath. A machine. A pawn. Nothing more than a tool for a larger goal, without attachments or feelings.

Our teachers forgot one important detail:

Pawns shouldn’t have hearts.

Yet we do.

It turns out our emotions are our greatest weapon.

And I know exactly where mine are aimed.

The first in an all-new series by USA Today bestselling author Meli Raine.

  • Oh Wow! So glad the whole series is available!

    Ok, gotta be honest... I have never read a book quite like this one. While the beginning of the book, I felt like there was a back story I was missing, it wasn’t enough that I ever felt a desire to set the book aside. On the contrary, I was severely sucked in and had a very hard time putting it down to work, or do household chores. This may have felt a bit overwhelming at the start, but this definitely held me captive. I am so glad this series is complete, or I would have been very irritated with how Stateless left Kina and Callum. I am off to eagerly dive into book 2, Traceless.

    I’m not sure how I feel about this book. It has the potential to be a movie, which is a good thing, but so many characters to start makes it very confusing, and there are times throughout the whole story that are also just as confusing even after you start to understand who’s who. Conversations were hard to follow sometimes when it came to understanding who was speaking. The story itself was decent though but the lack of truth throughout made the story hard to follow sometimes. I haven’t decided if I want to move on to the next book or not. If I don’t, it’ll be to avoid the confusion as to who is doing what and why. There are much easier books out there. If I do read the second book, it’ll be in hopes of getting a better understanding as to what it is that is even going on. Regardless the book is worth the read or attempted read. I read it in 48 hours so that in itself proves that it has some worth.

  • In a futuristic world where children kill

    By Annmric8
    Born without a trace, trained to be a weapon, and cultivated to be a killer children are brought to live in this compound. The mission is to restructure and destroy the world outside the walls where chaos thrives. Weakness is drawn out and used for training where only the strong survive. Overall: The first chapter began with information overload. From the premise I surmise this to be a suspenseful thriller. This was not an easy transition for me. I felt the story began as a spin-off and I’m clueless. Stateless follows three main characters: Callum, Glen, and Kina. Having began with Stateless I found it quite complex. That first chapter led me to believe I missed out on an entire story that I should’ve read prior to this one. I’m confused already and I’ve only just begun. I compare this training compound to that of Hunger Games and Divergent. Stateless is a futuristic world where the compound is made up of children trained to destroy the government. The story progressed slowly reiterating the same details about these characters ability to detach emotionally. The point was drilled home the first time it was mentioned I didn’t need further examples or a redefinition of the mission. When the characters were reassigned moving forward nine years I started to enjoy the story. The story changed and I felt that shift. Eventhough those nine years were unknown it’s what happened upon the return that altered my entire outlook on the story moving it in the direction I needed.
  • Lovely book

    I’ll be honest, at first I didn’t like this book because I didn’t understand it. But it did not take long for me to be pulled in. I am truly intrigued by this world and love the mentions of characters from previous books. Everything is painted out for me to be able to visualize. I can’t wait to read the sequels!

    This book is like the other series. It keeps you wanting more. The Stateless program doesn’t record the births. It Luke they don’t exist to the world. The are trained to do blend in society while secretly taken it down. Callum is the brightest in the class. They are taught to not have feelings. Kina and Glen are identical twins. Glen is better at everything than Kina. They all think Kina is weak. They pick on her. They have games where if one is killed the games are done. Several people try to go after Kina and Callum protects her. His feelings for her are forbidden. Glen and Callum both get to go out into society. Glen tells the higher up Kina is not strong enough to be in society. Callum can’t say goodbye to Kina. You start to learn about Stateless and what they are up to. I can’t wait to read they next book. Definitely a page turner.

    I didn’t read this book I inhaled it. I mean I couldn’t put it down. The story way so fast and engaging the characters kept evolving I loved it. Like all her books I have to read read and then start the series again because i get so attached to the characters. I’m a huge fan of series that intertwine characters from other books. Stories that unravel and grow with different perspectives. Huge ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️book

    Another fantastic book by Meli Raine. The start to a great series of intrigue, deception, and possibly love? In Stateless where your own twin can GE an enemy who can you trust? Romantic feelings are off the table. Government anarchy is high on the list. And who do you trust, anyone? Who is the enemy? Nothing like a good cliffhanger to keep you waiting for the second book. ARC was provided in return for an honest feedback.
