The Apex Cycle, Book 1

De: M.T. Zimny

Narrado por: Elizabeth Phillips

Samantha Havardson is not an Apex. She’s completely ordinary with a totally normal family that just happens to moving to the Apex epicenter of the world- the manmade island city of New Delos. Although she thinks her lack of super Apex abilities will keep her out of the limelight, it quickly becomes apparent that the city has different plans, sweeping Samantha up in a world of secret identities and super powers where anyone, even those closest to her, might be an Apex.

Plagued by missing students, secret Apex teams, and a mysterious man named Adrestus, Samantha searches for answers, causing secrets to unravel about her classmates, her family, and herself that drag her deeper into the secret world of the Apex.

Twisty and turny! Highly recommend!

Snarky main character! Strong but nerdy and sweet love interest. Super heros. Gods. Twists and turns that are so well built up, you’ll never see them coming. And yet they come together perfectly! And sword fights! What more could you want? Seriously though, I loved it! 😍

Great World building

I was so pleasantly surprised by this series. If you are a big Drew Hayes or Peter Clines fan this is right up your alley. M T Zimny has the character and world building of Hayes, and the plot twists and turns of Clines, in other words she sucks you in, makes you care, then leaves you day dreaming & wanting more! it's deliciously torturous.
It's definitely a YA fiction as it's very clean both in language and sexual references (clean meaning they are non existent), which I appreciated. As such, some aspects of the main character (Sammy) are typical of YA fiction with themes of jealousy and snap decisions, but they are fitting with her age as a Sophomore in HS. all that being said, the twists in the book are actually quite surprising, and I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop. I can't actually say what's going to happen next, which makes me want to read more!!
Character development of not only our heroin, but of the other characters, is good and there are a lot of ways the story can build.
World building starts from the very beginning and only gets better as you go.
All in all it's a great fantasy read (or listen) for both teens and adults.

Amazing Twists

This has a beautifully executed plot with wonderful twists that keep you guessing throughout. The stakes feel tangible and relevant, and I was fully invested.

Amazing book

I can’t explain in words how much i enjoy this book. It took me back to the feeling i had at 12 when i would randomly grab a book off the shelf and accidentally stumble upon my next obsession (a book as not made me feel like that in a long time)
This book at twist after twist and just when i thought it couldn’t get more intense it did! I wish i could re read it again for the first time. Cant wait to listen to the next one ❤️

Great Book!

Wanted to find a book my son and I can enjoy together and this book was perfect! We both loved the twist and turns we didn’t see coming. An amazing story you get sucked right into!
