Publisher's summary

Hawk, the daughter of Maximum Ride, teams with her mother up to help save their beloved but dangerous city in this action-packed thriller.

For Hawk, being a hero weighs heavily on her wings.

In the City of the Dead, life happens in the shadows. That's why a war is brewing against an enemy no one can see.

Hawk and Maximum Ride never back down from a conflict, or from each other, and they argue more than they agree.

But as the dead begin to outnumber the living, a mother's experience and a daughter's instinct can make one powerful arsenal.

Hope there’s more

I absolutely love the Maximum Ride series, I have since I was like 12. I hope that there is more to Hawk’s story, and hopefully she gets to learn about the flock’s adventures in the past. I’m especially hoping that Max tells her about Dr. Martinez.

I hope there’s more

This was an AMAZING and so AWESOME of a book. I really hope that there’s a third book coming! I love the Maximum Ride series read that series like 12 times. I’m looking forward to see if this becomes just as good as a series as Maximum Ride Has become! Please keep them coming

Loved it!

I thought it was nice to see the gang again and I love that it has a similar vibe to the original series but I could agree that Max is an odd motherly figure and did things that felt a little out of character for her. The plot and ending were good though and I think it’s worth the read if you loved maximum ride.

BWW

Big Patterson fan but this one was really slow for me and the main character was not my style...a bit winey and sarcastically predictable....
