City of Vicious Night

Requiem Dark, Book 2

By: Claire Winn

Narrated by: Sarah Beth Pfeifer

For the most hated crew on Requiem, the only way out is up.

It's been four months since runaway heiress Asa crash-landed on the matriarchal outlaw colony Requiem, bringing a nasty AI and a host of deadly secrets with her. Now, she runs with her almost-girlfriend Riven's smuggler crew, stealing kisses between gunfights and heists. But when a mysterious hacker sabotages their latest job, other gangs turn against them, blaming them for the destruction the rogue AI caused. Nowhere in the city is safe.

The only way to protect their crew is a series of trials for control of an underworld faction—and vying for a matriarch's throne is a dream Riven can't let go. But as the trials intensify, the saboteur hounds Asa and Riven's every step, determined to kill Asa and right her father's wrongs. When the saboteur reveals a horrific conspiracy threatening all of Requiem—one involving the crew member they thought they'd lost—the girls must decide whether to risk their own skins for a city that loathes them.

An Ending and a Beginning

A fitting conclusion to a stellar debut duology, with thrills, chills, and more than enough heart to go around. Safe to say that I am eagerly awaiting whatever Winn does next.

great sequel and happy with the ending for sure

only issue was Riv's fatalist attitude and martyrdom as if it helps anyone.... loved this story and can't wait to see what else the author has

Great sequel

Loved it, it's a great sequel. The cyber punk back drop and first encounter and taking down a corrupt system mix well in this book
