    In the Afterlight

    About this audiobook

    Ruby can’t look back. Fractured by an unbearable loss, she and the kids who survived the government’s attack on Los Angeles travel north to regroup. Only Ruby can keep their highly dangerous prisoner in check. But with Clancy Gray, there's no guarantee you're fully in control, and everything comes with a price.

    When the Children's League disbands, Ruby rises up as a leader and forms an unlikely allegiance with Liam's brother, Cole, who has a volatile secret of his own. There are still thousands of other Psi kids suffering in government "rehabilitation camps" all over the country. Freeing them—revealing the governments unspeakable abuses in the process—is the mission Ruby has claimed since her own escape from Thurmond, the worst camp in the country.

    But not everyone is supportive of the plan Ruby and Cole craft to free the camps. As tensions rise, competing ideals threaten the mission to uncover the cause of IANN, the disease that killed most of America's children and left Ruby and others with powers the government will kill to keep contained. With the fate of a generation in their hands, there is no room for error. One wrong move could be the spark that sets the world on fire.

      Come the Renaissance

      May 20, 2020

      I’VE escaped from the Abbey. Am I skipping up the drive back to the house, swinging my guitar case and trilling I Have Confidence in Me? Not so much. Bit more Fidelio, if I’m honest: creeping, wan, unshaven, shielding my eyes from the unfamiliar sun.

      This Book is a great experience, love the action and the drama. At times it may be a bit slow, but it all has a great purpose

      I feel the same exact way about the last two books as I did about this one. It's a good book and a good series, just not a great one. There are flaws that I just didn't like, just like the others. I feel like the book ended exactly in the same spot as when the war first started... What's the point of the whole series then?? Same ratings as the others because I did enjoy the book, but what the hell was that ending? 4/5
    • 5/5
      this book makes me so happy and i could easily stop here and be at piece with myself and this book series, however it just so happens that I found the darkest legacy, and I'm the type of person that needs to read every book in the series before I'm satisficed .

      Loved the bond between Ruby and Liam. Way too much swearing for my liking.
