Publisher's summary

Ruby never asked for the abilities that almost cost her her life. Now she must call upon them on a daily basis, leading dangerous missions to bring down a corrupt government and breaking into the minds of her enemies. Other kids in the Children’s League call Ruby “Leader", but she knows what she really is: a monster.

When Ruby is entrusted with an explosive secret, she must embark on her most dangerous mission yet: leaving the Children’s League behind. Crucial information about the disease that killed most of America’s children - and turned Ruby and the others who lived into feared and hated outcasts - has survived every attempt to destroy it. But the truth is saved in only one place: a flash drive in the hands of Liam Stewart, the boy Ruby once believed was her future - and who now wouldn’t recognize her.

As Ruby sets out across a desperate, lawless country to find Liam - and answers about the catastrophe that has ripped both her life and America apart - she is torn between old friends and the promise she made to serve the League. Ruby will do anything to protect the people she loves. But what if winning the war means losing herself?

Yasss!

I love the writing and the narrator just yes! the story kept me on my toes, and every time I had to stop listening I felt anxiety because of the anticipation of what would happen next.

Good second book

Loved it. Reader is awesome. Character portrayal by reader is very good.
About the characters:
Jude character is soo annoying.
Ruby is a typical adolescent - she doesn't know what she wants.

A little disappointing.

I was excited for the 2nd part, but it wasn’t great. While it wasn’t the best, I did order the 3rd book & will listen to it. In my opinion, way too many “feelings” for such a “trained” soldier. The love affair part was very lame. Enough. Plus, the narrator has a whiney voice.

better than the first

nonstop action, attention geabbing. I love the characters the author has created. the girl that does the audio is amazing! I love how she slightly alters her tone or speaking timing to differentiate between characters. I can't wait to start the 3rd

Wow wasn’t expecting this explosive mind bending gem!

It started out a little slow but when it picked up I was clenched to my seat. I never knew what would come up next or who might not make it out alive😢! This was action packed and when I thought the book was at its peak it would continuously peak over and over again. I was invested in these characters and felt as though I loved and hated them as if I was there! Really just ride this one out BC when it pulls u in u won’t to get out!!

Good read story is well performed.

Narrator is great plot is obvious. foreshadowing is to heavy. But I'll be back for more because I love the direction the story is going.
