About Released (The Nogiku Series, #2)...
Sanaa must deal with her fate.
Left in the desert to recuperate from her injuries, Sanaa Itami paces the floors and contemplates her mistakes. She trusted too easily, and now people she loved are dead, killed at the hands of men coming to assassinate her. Sanaa feels beaten, but life awaits her at home. While her city recovers from the devastating earthquake, negotiations for Sanaa’s future continue. New allies must be made, new friendships brokered, new skills acquired — at all costs.
Life at the top of the chain is complicated and lonely, though. With all her friendships rocky and uncertain, Sanaa must learn to trust others again more than she’s willing. Who is left holding a grudge? And will the new family Sanaa has found with Jiro support or betray her?

Praise
“Released continues Sanaa and Jiro’s journey of love and discovery. Their relationship has grown a lot in this book and it’s a lot of fun to be a part of that growth. To listen in on their private conversations, to spar with them in the dōjo, to join them on their dates – it makes for fun reading and dreaming!” – Heather McCoubrey, Author of To Love Twice
“Released was amazing, I fell even more in love with this series and I couldn’t put this book down. I liked where the story went and I liked meeting the new characters and getting to know others better.” – Lola, Lola’s Reviews
“I read the first book of this series, Removed, as part of a read-it-review-it for a book club. Removed was so good, I purchased Released as soon as I was able. You never know what you will get with the later books in a series. Rest assured, you get a whole bunch of awesomeness with this book. It was everything I wanted and then some. I absolutely loved it.” – JulieK, Amazon Customer
“Released, S.J. Pajonas’ second book in the Nogiku series, did not disappoint. In fact, having already been familiar with the construct of the world in which Sanaa lives, I found myself jumping right into this new story and hardly coming up for breath. Exciting action, sensual love, and intriguing but light sci-fi combined to captivate me as a reader.” – Katie L Carroll, Author of Elixir Bound
“I loved that Jiro and Sanaa still talked things out, and when they didn’t, I never got annoyed with Sanaa because you feel everything she does. You understand the motives for her actions. I loved the action scenes too, and not all of the mysteries have been solved yet. On the contrary, this book ended with even more questions, and I really wish I had book three right now.” – Brianna, Biblio Belles
“While the science fiction isn’t as predominant in this book as it was in Removed, it’s still an important and well-done piece of Pajonas’ writing. The book certainly ends leaving me wanting and waiting for book three with a huge, unexpected twist that I really loved.” – C. E. Kilgore, Tracing The Stars
“Nogiku Series is definitely one of my favorites right now. I love how Sanaa has grown into a formidable female lead. Without giving out a lot of info, her skills training definitely gives her an edge. This book will definitely leave you wanting to continue on with the series.” – Dre Wolf, Sporadic Reads
