TRACELESS is a romantic suspense with deep state operatives and political intrigue. Get this psychological thriller now!
My mind is spinning. My jaw is unhinged. I have no words. I think that this, even more than any Meli Raine series before it, fits the textbook definition of a psychological thriller. I’ve come out the other side of this book and I kind of don’t know what I just read. All I know for certain is that I loved it. Callum and Kina’s story is a bit like watching the very best slight-of-hand magicians. You know there’s so much more going on that you can’t see, and you’re dying to know what it all is. I’m not even going to hazard a guess as to where the next book might take us. I know I would be wrong anyway. I need more of the story NOW!
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
Callum and Kina had discovered that Stateless was lying, deceiving, keeping secrets and covering up vital information for them. After knowing the truth about their past and facing the supposed enemies, Kina and Callum were forced to make a decision and fight against what they have been taught. Emotions were high, their need for each other strong but trust and give up control was not a trait in their world. When children’s safety was at stake the thinking and planning time was over. Mind blowing intense and exciting scenes that had me expecting the worst at each time. Kira’s character was an enigma. What’s really in her mind? She reminds me of a chameleon. All that strength and ability to adapt and survive makes her and unsurpassed character. Action, suspense, secrets, mystery, strong emotions, distrust, deceived, violence, romance and passion. A series that had kept my attention all the time and left me thinking with the intriguing plot development. Must read in order because this book continues after the first one’s cliffhanger. Like these intense stories where things are not as they seem and anything could happen.
Everything is changing at breakneck speed and you don’t know who to trust or who really want to kill you.
This installment is filled with secrets being revealed and lies that need to be told to the right people. Callum comes face to face with his past. Kina finds kindness where she expects to find apathy or indifference. Everyone is being watched and decisions are being made up the ladder that could be the end of them all.
My gut is still clenched. My heart is still racing. And I have no words for how much I am anticipating Fateless! Everything is turning on a dime.
Meli, Meli, Meli!! What are you doing to me? Traceless brings us closer to finding out some MAJOR secrets regarding our favorite President Bosworth, his team and what their connection may or may not be to Stateless. Callum and Kina are only scratching the surface of what is actually going on with the people they have been raised to believe and trust in. Who they have been sworn to protect. Who is REALLY behind Stateless, who is pulling all the strings. You may not find out in this book but you are getting closer and closer to finding out so much more. Each book in each trilogy just builds and builds upon each other and Meli Raine’s ability to pull all of these different facets of not only life, but of politics and deep cover investigations, together to have you almost believing that this could all be real – life. I’m at my wits end with the ending of this one wondering who the hell is Kina REALLY?
WOW!! Traceless picks up right after Stateless. This is a true rollercoaster of a ride. Kina and Callum are put to the test and their love for one another prevails. The children that are now adults of Stateless are confronted with the truths of their identities and it is so difficult for them because they have been brainwashed their whole life. I know the author says you do not have to read the three previous trilogies but as I stated in my review of Stateless, especially in Traceless so many of the characters come into play so it would just make it easier to understand the ramification for all involved. I read this book in one day. I couldn’t put it down and I know who I am rooting for but beware this book ends on a major CLIFFHANGER!!! If you hate cliffhangers than wait for the third book in this trilogy. What more can I say. Meli Raine is the queen of political, romantic suspense and in this new series she truly raises the bar exploring the world of Stateless and what happens to innocent children raised in this world. BRAVO to Meli on this book and series. If I could I would give it 10 stars.
Another roller coaster ride! I am loving this series! I cannot wait to read what’s going to happen to everyone that survived in Traceless!
Traceless is a brilliant continuation of the Stateless series. Boundaries are startling to crumble and lines are becoming blurred as the truth trickles its way down. The human psyche can only remain isolated for as long as the heart chooses to tolerate it. What time is up, what you find is a slow thawing and awakening beyond anything that person is ready to deal with. When true life is thrust upon us in a seismic way, the results are equally astounding and shocking. No one can anticipate how that person will react or the way that they will shake things up around them. One thing is for sure, nothing will ever be the same again.
Callum continues to unearth one lie after another. He doesn’t understand how their orderly life can be sustained when surrounded by planned chaos and duplicitous motives from the top. one thing he does know is that his heart will not deny how he feels for Kina. While they try to hide and disguise how they feel toward each other, the truth of their feelings always shine through as brightly as the sun. Kina cannot stop how her heart longs to be with Callum after nine years of denial. Even if he cannot control how they use him, they can’t control his feelings toward her no matter how hard they try to sabotage or brutalize. She must keep her focus, and she must be careful because there is more then her life at stake if things go deadly wrong.
I have been dying to read this next chapter in this uniquely masterful series! I love the premise behind this story, and I am enthralled by the layers of the plot that is unfolding before our eyes. Nothing can keep me from savoring every second of this beautifully twisted and emotionally evocative journey that we are on. This is truly the culmination of each of Raine’s previous series. It would seem that she is finally revealing the overall master plan that has driven us to this dangerously charged point. Nothing is as it seems, and I feel that when the endgame is finally revealed, we will discover that Kina and Callum play the starring roles in this twisted game of life. Only they have no idea of their true purpose and their attempts at subersion may drive the climax dangerously closer and spur the results to become even more deadly and final.
Meli Raine has become my absolute favorite romantic suspense author due to her boundless imagination and her brilliant creativity. Her ability to twist and smooth out life for her characters at the same time proves just how depth and heart she pours into her stories. She never holds back, and I love that about her. Her intensity and her brilliance will always draw me in so deeply that I will never want to reemerge from her worlds of danger and love. Let the brilliance continue!
I am on the edge of my seat then WHAM! cliffhanger. I really should come to expect it now. I adore the character development that is done so well and quickly. We get to the meat of the story quickly and with great attention to detail. We continue the Stateless operation that is getting riskier and riskier as Callum and Kina reunite. Every time they reunite there are fireworks and fires to put out, it would seem. No spoilers but the twists are good and the ties to previous books are amazing but doesn’t mean you have to read those, these can standalone as a trilogy (but go read those!).
This is Traceless, book 2 of the series Stateless written by Meli Raine. Wow! How deep down the rabbit hole will we have to go to find out who is who and what is what and…and?? If you aren’t fond of cliffhangers, I suggest you hang on for the next book to come out. There is so much going on in this series that it gets hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys. Can Callum save Kina? Who will save the babies? Just what the heck is going on here? You will be swept up and kept hostage for the entirety of this series! Consider yourself warned. Be sure to allot enough time when you open page one!
Holy cow! This book had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. The twists and turns had me wanting to find out what happens next. When I reached the end of the book, I was yelling NO! because of the way it ended and because I have to wait until the next book in this series comes out. The chemistry between Callum and Kina just keeps growing every time they are together but something always gets in the way. The closer I got to The end of the book, the faster the pace seemed to be. I recommend this book to anyone who likes suspense with a love story.
Second book in the series and just as epic.
In this book you’ll see much loved characters from previous series come back to help fight the out of control monster that is the Stateless program.
Cannot wait to see them all hit back in the next book, every single one of them have earnt that right.
So much happens within this book you’ll be on a rollercoaster ride of emotions with your head spinning through out.
Cannot reccomend this author for suspense lovers enough.
The twists and turns Ms. Raine enacts blows my mind. I believe this is the 6th intermingled trilogy and the slow leak of information through each book has me going back to read every prior story again through a new perspective. She is also the reigning Cliffhanger Queen, so if that isn’t your thing, I recommend waiting until the 3rd book comes out and reading them all at once. The character development is done in such a way to leave you feeling as though these are your friends. The emotional progressions invoked through the plots are flawless. I’ve had tears, laughs, felt gut wrenching horror, and had literal adrenaline rushes. Though each trilogy can be read as individual, I’ve felt more invested reading everything chronologically. I cannot wait for Fateless, nor for whatever roller coaster of political and emotional turmoil Meli Raine has lined up next!
Picking up where the last book left off was hard to do with this amazing book. A tale of lies and truths where one minute you know what’s going on and the next, you have no idea. So good.
Holy Smoly!! Traceless the second book in the Stateless triology is everything I hoped it would be and more! Talk about heart pounding! Kina and Callum trust each other, but should they really? In this book, you’ll see some familiar people. Love how it’s all coming together! I highly recommend reading the other books in the series. It’s not necessary, but you’ll get an AHA moment when something is revealed from Harmless Little Game! I know it was a jaw dropping moment for me! I am so ready for Fateless! Happy Reading!

Wow! I am breathless after gulping down this second book in one amazing helping. Densely plotted, fast paced and deep with incident, Traceless is an exciting and thoroughly rewarding read which kept me on the edge of my seat. This is a series which explores the impact of deep conditioning on behaviour, assumptions and character in a setting of a cult like environment, rife with suspicion, ambition and ruthlessness. There is also love and tenderness, the affect of exposure to contrary ideas on perceptions and enough twists and turns to satisfy a sidewinder!I love it!
