Publisher's summary

Ruby never asked for the abilities that almost cost her her life. Now she must call upon them on a daily basis, leading dangerous missions to bring down a corrupt government and breaking into the minds of her enemies. Other kids in the Children’s League call Ruby “Leader", but she knows what she really is: a monster.

When Ruby is entrusted with an explosive secret, she must embark on her most dangerous mission yet: leaving the Children’s League behind. Crucial information about the disease that killed most of America’s children - and turned Ruby and the others who lived into feared and hated outcasts - has survived every attempt to destroy it. But the truth is saved in only one place: a flash drive in the hands of Liam Stewart, the boy Ruby once believed was her future - and who now wouldn’t recognize her.

As Ruby sets out across a desperate, lawless country to find Liam - and answers about the catastrophe that has ripped both her life and America apart - she is torn between old friends and the promise she made to serve the League. Ruby will do anything to protect the people she loves. But what if winning the war means losing herself?

Just as good as Darkest Minds

For a middle book, this one blows that "middle book syndrome" idea right out of the water. Wow! Every bit as action packed and drama driven as the first book, Alexandra Bracken has delivered a whopper of a sequel. The audio by Amy McFadden is superb. Every voice was distinct, every emotion appropriate. I am getting spoiled by all these voice actors and highly impatient with those who just narrate. This book is amazing. Just get it and listen to it - you're welcome.

Kids with abilities & dangerous missions

Where does Never Fade rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I have so enjoyed this series narrated by Amy McFadden, this book is probably one of the best narrated audiobook series I have listened to.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Never Fade?

When Ruby & Liam HONESTLY talk about what she did to his memories.

Which character – as performed by Amy McFadden – was your favorite?

Ruby was so annoying with her waffling but I rooted for her nonetheless, so she is my favorite. Liam was my favorite because of his honest, sustaining LOVE for Ruby. I also loved Chubbs obstinance!!!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Too many to recount, this book was a roller coaster of psycological thriller & torture!

Alot like Marvels mutant war

All about man's inability to live with 'others' that have more power than us. We can't live knowing someone can beat us at everything. We fear it so much that we will kill ourselves in the process of remaining on top of the pyramid of life. I MUST have all the power!
