The Vigil & Ante Files, Book 2

De: Megan Mccullough

Narrado por: Dana Allen

Make a movie. Fool the public. Save the world.

After VIGIL & ANTE Studios’ latest publicity stunt, Agent Rosemary Collins and former supervillain Ironfall must maintain their cover by starring in a film of their own. This calls for a precarious truce, one rife with suspicion. But with ANTE remnants still at large, the pair must set aside their feelings, join forces again, and hunt the enemy down.

Following their only lead, Rosemary and Ironfall barely escape ANTE’s latest secret weapon: a brutal villain with a tranquillizing touch. The VIGIL team now has more questions than answers, sending them on a twisted ride of challenged loyalties and revenge. Rosemary and Ironfall must figure out who is a hero, who is a villain, and whether or not they can trust each other before this new threat destroys everything they care about.

ANTE was always prepared to lose. Now they’re about to rise again.

Marvelous

This series is so fun! It’s a great YA novel filled with action, swoon and a fun twist on super heroes! I definitely recommend especially for lovers of comics and marvel. The narrator she doesn’t a great job bringing these characters to life makes it easy to follow the story.

I’m really thankful to whimsical publishing for the audio book so I could finally finish book 2! My review is my own opinion.

heros

this is such a fun book, I like this one over the first and it's a great way to end this story. this book is a fun story with a very interesting concept that is done very well. definitely a reread for future me.

Starfall

I loved the first book so much so that one was hard to follow up. I liked this one but not as much as the first one. I was able to listen to this one though which was also a different experience. The narrator did a pretty good job but I did find Sam’s voice annoying. But it’s supposed to be and he’s kinda annoyed so it’s fair. I think it’s hard to wrap up a series and I could feel that in this book. They did add some cool sounds to voices that were being masked which was immersive. I wish this had more to it, but I get why the author wrapped it up they way they did.

Quirky

I read the first book in the series and walked away from it determined not to touch the next book. Yet when I had the chance to review the audiobook of the second book for the publisher I decided to give it a chance. After all, the author has written a whole other book, she’s got to have improved since the first one. Plus, it’s easier to listen to cringe books than to read them myself. Unfortunately this one was still riddled with plot holes AND the narrator made me want to stop listening. I know that the author wanted Sam to be an annoying (yet lovable) character, but the narrator doesn’t need to make it sound like everything he said was in a whine.

The plot of this book falls completely apart when you investigate it too hard. If you’re just listening for the sake of listening, you might enjoy it. If you’re a more critical person, though, you will not be able to enjoy the book. I will say that the writing quality was a bit better than the first, although I am much more forgiving when I listen to audiobooks, so keep that in mind.

I’d give this book about a 2.5 star rating.

A GOOD CONCLUSION.

I enjoyed this follow up a lot! It’s a charming read and the whole concept and plot is fun and perfectly young adult. This is a great duology for younger audiences.

The side plot romance was charming and I loved the banter and connection Rosemary and Ironfall created. Learning to trust, making hard decisions and saving the world. It’s fast paced and is an easy book to read in an afternoon.

I look forward to more books by this author! Definitely a charming writer.
