It’s time to fight back in
this second novel in a thrilling, subversive near future series from New York
Times bestselling author Suzanne Young about a girls-only private high school
that is far more than it appears to be.
Make me a girl with a razor heart…
It’s been weeks since Mena and the other girls
of Innovations Academy escaped their elite boarding school. Although
traumatized by the violence and experimentations that occurred there, Mena
quickly discovers that the outside world can be just as unwelcoming and cruel.
With no one else to turn to, the girls only have each other—and the
revenge-fueled desire to shut down the corporation that imprisoned them.
The girls enroll in Stoneridge Prep, a private
school with suspect connections to Innovations, to identify the son of an
investor and take down the corporation from the inside. But with pressure from
Leandra, who revealed herself to be a double-agent, and Winston Weeks, an
academy investor gone rogue, Mena wonders if she and her friends are simply
trading one form of control for another. Not to mention the woman who is quite
literally invading Mena’s thoughts—a woman with extreme ideas that both
frighten and intrigue Mena.
And as the girls fight for freedom from their
past—and freedom for the girls still at Innovations—they must also face new
questions about their existence…and what it means to be girls with razor
hearts.
My Review: Now I know I didn't rave about the first book, but I didn't hate. BUT oh my did book two hook me and have me devouring this book in no time.
The book picks up right where the first one left off. The girls escaped and are on their own now. Leandra left them with information and cash. So the girls rent out a place and attend a new school. Everything seems to being going well and they are working to find this investor's kid, but when Mena has this vision/headache, everything is about to change.
They get home after and there's some random
girl there. Raven, she's an IT wiz and can help them. Someone they thought to
be dead is really alive and well. Winston is in the area and they meet the
creator of the poems. A LOT goes down and this book is damn well gripping. You
won't stop until you've read the last the page.
