About this listen

Hunting monsters was supposed to be the hard part. When Joy came to Apex City, all she cared about was protecting the Cits from the dangers lurking outside protective barriers. She understood the need for the secrecy surrounding her hunts - no need to cause a panic by announcing just how real of a threat the Othersiders pose.

But as she quickly discovered, the conspiracies of the city run much deeper. And a dangerous new covert mission leaves Joy with a target on her back once more. Under the orders of her uncle, the city's prefect, Joy begins patrolling the abandoned tunnels and storm sewers under Apex Center. With her large pack of magical hounds, she can fight the monsters breaking through the barriers with the strength of three hunters. Then she starts finding bodies. Psimons are turning up dead in the bowels of the city, with no apparent injury. Reporting the incidents makes Joy the uncomfortable object of PsiCorps' scrutiny, and the organization appears more interested in keeping her quiet than investigating. Joy's situation grows more precarious, and her relationship with her Psimon boyfriend, Josh, begins to fray. Long-held tensions between PsiCorps and the Hunters seem to be reaching a breaking point. While infighting threatens the stability of Apex City, Othersider forces are gaining strength and momentum outside the borders. Joy desperately seeks answers to figure out who her real enemies are before she and everyone she cares about are locked into an all-out war.

Good series

Well narrated. This novel picks up shortly after the end of the first with Joy now an elite hunter. Lots of action with a plot coming into play. The author paces this one well.

Action packed

The plot continues apace, with political intrigue in the background. Joy is now an elite. The Hunters and Elite continue to fight the Othersiders, whose tactics are evolving. Her Othersider “friend” appears again - the enemy imof my enemy, perhaps? Looking forward to the next book. Great narration. Caveats: there is some occasional swearing, a reference to a lesbian couple, and a misunderstanding of Christian marriage. It’s stereotyped that women are doormats and have no say in the marriage.

Does not disappoint!

Lackey does not disappoint! Her inventive worlds and interesting stories maker her one of my favourite authors. This is a great second instalment. The action and mystery only ramp up in book 2! It’s hard to stop!

The performance is much improved over book 1, less robotic of a read and much more natural sounding.

Just waiting for something to happen

You know when you’re waiting for the exciting part to start? Yea- 3 hours in and still nothing. I love fantasy books, but this one is a little to slow for me.
