Voted Best Contemporary/Urban Fantasy of 2017 by eFestival of Words

Libby is a mutant, one of the top burglars and assassins in the world. For a price, she caters to executives’ secret desires. Eliminate your corporate rival? Deliver a priceless art masterpiece or necklace? Hack into another corporation’s network? Libby’s your girl.

Climate change met nuclear war, and humanity lost. The corporations stepped in, stripping governments of power. Civilization didn’t end, but it became less civilized. There are few rules as corporations jockey for position and control of assets and markets.

In the year 2200, the world has barely recovered the level of technology that existed before the ice melted and the subsequent wars. Corporate elites live in their walled estates and skyscraper apartments while the majority of humanity supplies their luxuries. On the bottom level, the mutants, the poor, and the criminals scramble every day just to survive.

No nonsense heroine

Unique twist on the idea of “the invisible man.” The daring of “James Bond” but the female eye of the world and role she sees herself playing. Loved it.

Excellent book! the story is fabulous!

The book and story are excellent! I loved it. Hannah Hart read the story better than her counterpart Edward Fox. The male voice sounded much the same to me when doing different characters. this was annoying when there were multiple male parts to be played. However, both did have wonderful reading voices to listen to throughout the story.

best dual narration I have heard

creative take on the future. love the dual narration. not very bloody/gory. most of the violence to is over quickly.
i liked it enough to purchase the rest of the series.

5 Stars

This is my first book by this author and I'm impressed. The story is entertaining with an interesting story and a well crafted world for the characters. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the next book in this series.

The Urban Fantasy that the World Needs

BR Kingsolver has pushed all my urban fantasy buttons with this post-apocalyptic fantasy series. The characters are well developed, gritty, and relatable. The plot is gripping and she avoids the obvious pitfalls of over used tropes creating a vibrant world that I literally cannot wait to read more about. I get nervous when there are multiple narrators but these two did a great job and the editing makes it feel seamless. If you are into these books check out her Dark Streets series.
