Review: Sanctuary

Sanctuary by Caryn Lix
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kenzie may be young, but she knows what she wants. Her goal is to become an elite guard on the space prison Sanctuary. She is already a junior guard and is showing the other guards that she has earned this right, even though their commanding officer is her mother. When the superpowered prisoners take Kenzie hostage in a drill gone wrong, Kenzie learns that there are secrets that her parents have been keeping. Who else is on this ship with them? What will Kenzie need to do in order to survive and hopefully save Earth?

Sanctuary is the first book in the science fiction series with the same title. Readers will begin this story thinking it has the usual sci-fi elements, yet Lix slowly weaves in additional twists and turns to keep the reader’s attention. Kenzie must juggle being the only guard on the prisoner side as she continues to try and keep her feelings separate from the tasks at hand. Sanctuary was a fun first book and I will be looking forward to more books in this universe.
