Summary

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 best-selling author Meli Raine.

A New Adult Dystopian Story

Part 1 of a trilogy, Stateless is a modern new adult dystopian story.

This audiobook has a lot of tension, paranoia, and a community of people being trained to undermine and bring down modern societies across the globe. Kina and Callum are young adults who are being trained by the 'stateless'. They will all be sent on missions after their training, and personal friendships, loyalty and emotions are definitely not allowed. Despite all of this, Kina and Callum have a deep connection, one that they must be hide.

This story is an intriguing and engaging experience into a dark and chilling world. The atmosphere is one of isolation and loneliness, and also of exploitation of young people to be part of an underground system that they have no choice in. If you enjoy dystopian fiction then this will definitely be a novel worth listening to.

The narrators really brought this world to life for me.

This was an awesome listen!

Stateless... a program that is training children from a young age to overthrow the government. Keena and Callum and Keenan twin sister are a part of this. They’ve been told that they were rescued from abusive homes and taken in and raised in the compound.

Callum and the twin were sent to college and Keena was left behind to care for the babies and become the “training body” (you’ll have to listen to know what this is). After 9 years, Callum returns to the compound.. he didn’t know Keena had been there all along.

This was excellent. The story is hard to handle at times (for me) but it was a great listen!!

Andy Arndt and Joe Arden are two voices I love to listen to.. and this is no exception! Loved the narration.

Oh my

This one has kept me enthralled and obsessed from the first chapter, it’s intense and unique and definitely worth listening to. I’m so glad I did not start this at night because I’m pretty sure I would not have been able to stop listening.

These narrators are always an absolute pleasure to listen to and they certainly haven’t disappointed here

Romantic Suspense

Stateless by Meli Raine is a romantic suspense that I listened to on audio narrated by Joe Arden and Andi Arndt. This is the first book in the Stateless Series.

This is the first book of Meli’s that I have read and it definitely won’t be my last. She pulled me in from the very first chapter and I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next. I love the relationship between Kina and Callum. The book does end on a cliffhanger but that wasn’t a surprise since it’s the first book in the series. I can’t wait to dive into the next book Traceless to get more of Kina and Callum’s story.

Joe and Andi did a great job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you like romantic suspense, military romance, or psychological thrillers.

I was left wanting more

Kira and Callum are being raised and trained to take on the government. Kira is left behind to care for the new trainees even though she is a true warrior. The one thing that was not measured was the relationship between Kira and Callum. This bond between them is strong and it will only get stronger. But this story left me wanting to know more. I could not stop listening and I was happy to have the next book lined up.

Joe Arden and Andi Arndt are perfect for the narration. They always deliver an amazing performance. I always know the narration will be superb with this team. Knowing that they continue in the series has me wanting to listen even more. Joe and Andi bring this story to life. A better narrating team could not have been picked.

Lies and Deceit

Stateless by Melismas Raine is full of lies and deceit. The plot is complex, some characters are twisted, there is conspiracy, and romance. Joe Arden and Andi Ardnt were spectacular. They bring the characters to life. I highly recommend listening to the trilogy in order to fully appreciate the overall story. Thank you Audiobook Obsession for this recommendation.

What a thrill!

I was happy to get the whole trilogy. Two of my fave narrators, in a very interesting plot mixing hidden facility, child training and worldwide conspiracy, what not to like. Especially with a bit of romance–and mild steamy scenes.

I was also prepared for the darker undertones. It goes with the genre. And nothing is too graphic, though you’ll get some blood and death, and more disturbing things–like the whole mindset behind Stateless, oh my god. But the atmosphere is fascinating, and the writing quite good. It’s a good story, period.

The characters are interesting. They’re twisted and conflicted, they hide things and reveal others. They’re very complex and their stories and interactions are at the heart of the book. And it’s because of that that the big plot, the political conspiracy, may come to an untimely end. What a thrill!

Narrators are excellent, as always, especially the female narrator.

I can’t wait to listen to the second book of the series!

Interesting start to the trilogy

This is a trilogy and must be read in order. This was an intriguing start to the trilogy and done so well by the narrators, Joe Arden and Andi Arndt. I have both the ebook and the audiobook and I have to say that the narrators really bring this book to life!

The trilogy follows a cast of characters, including Kina and Callum, two recruits at Stateless, an organization that aims to infiltrate governments to carry out missions that are crucial to peace (hmm or are they?) The book itself spans a few years, from their younger years and shows us where they end up. There are a few trigger issues (harassment, abuse, etc) so beware but the book is really well written and the story is so intriguing. I do think that people will get more out of the series if they listened to prior stories and there were some areas that were a bit long. But overall, I'm interested to see what will happen in the next 2 books.
