Publisher's summary

Dexter meets Victoria Schwab in this dark and compelling fantasy about a girl who seeks revenge on the boy who betrayed her, a sequel to the critically-acclaimed Not Even Bones.

After escaping her kidnappers and destroying the black market where she was held captive, all Nita wants is to find a way to live her life without looking over her shoulder. But with a video of her ability to self-heal all over the dark web, Nita knows she's still a prime target on the black market. There's only one way to keep herself safe. Nita must make herself so feared that no one would ever dare come after her again. And the best way to start building her reputation? Take her revenge on Fabricio, the boy who sold Nita to her kidnappers. But killing Fabricio is harder than Nita thought it would be, even with Kovit by her side. Now caught in a game of kill or be killed, Nita will do whatever it takes to win.

4 Star Rating Overall...4½ Stars Narration Rating

The setting has completely changed for this second book...the first book took place in South America, and most of the story played out from inside a jail cell. This one has moved all the way to Toronto, Canada, next to the only Great Lake that I've never personally seen, Lake Ontario.

Our morally gray characters have started second-guessing themselves a lot...Nita more so than Kovit, and she did a lot of soul-searching throughout this book. Eventually, she just decided...screw it...and did what had to be done, and thank goodness...because it was starting to feel like I was caught up in a self-imposed therapy session.

While there were elements I struggled with, I, for the most part, found this engaging and was totally there for the supernatural-ish world that the author has created, because it's so unlike anything I've ever read before. I did like learning a whole lot more about Kovit, and also there's a dabble of romance or something of the sort. Really, the whole theme going on here seems to be the question of whether Nita thinks her and Kovit are redeemable or does it even really matter if they're redeemable...since they're just trying to survive in a world that keeps knocking them down.

The best series I have ever read

I have never felt more captivated by a book than I have with these characters. The audio that is narrated as well made me feel like I was there and could help me paint a picture to the words being read. I don’t know how I’m going to wait for the 3rd one but I know I will be binging it over and over.

Amazing

OMG THIS STORY I CAN'T EVEN PUT IT IN WORDS JUST AMAZING AND I CANT WAIT TILL THE 3RD BOOK DROPS

not as exciting as the first book

It wasn't bad at all. Worth the credit in my opinion just not as exciting as the first one. the third book hasn't been released but I probably won't be getting it. btw I know its a teen book but I'm 29 and really enjoyed it

This may be my favorite book

There are more poly twists in this book then any I’ve read before and all of them are executed beautifully.

I love this series!

I love the narration and the more I got used to it the better I liked it. very clearly spoken and not breathey like I hear a lot of narrarators speak! I also just love this series in general and I am shaking with anticipation for the third!

Amazing

It pulls you in and doesn’t let go. I never stopped listening the moment I started :)

impossible to put down

was a very well written book loved the characters and the story. Can't wait to get the last one!

Epic

I love this trilogy and I first came across it on a webtoon but I was so impatient that I decided to listen to the books! It’s so great and Almarie Guerra’s voice is so calming to listen to! I’m really looking forward for her to voice When Villains Rise :D

NOOOOOOOO

I am so hooked!!! I've listened to both books in a week and I am DEVASTATED that the next one isnt out yet!!!! I already preordered a hard copy!
