    About this audiobook

    X-Men meets Marissa Meyer’s Renegades when New York Times bestselling author of the Uglies series Scott Westerfeld teams up with award-winning authors Margo Lanagan and Deborah Biancotti in the second book of an explosive new trilogy about six teens with unique abilities.

    They thought they’d already faced their toughest fight. But there’s no relaxing for the reunited Zeroes.

    These six teens with unique abilities have taken on bank robbers, drug dealers, and mobsters. Now they’re trying to lay low so they can get their new illegal nightclub off the ground.

    But the quiet doesn’t last long when two strangers come to town, bringing with them a whole different kind of crowd-based chaos. And hot on their tails is a crowd-power even more dangerous and sinister.

    Up against these new enemies, every Zero is under threat. Mob is crippled by the killing-crowd buzz—is she really evil at her core? Flicker is forced to watch the worst things a crowd can do. Crash’s conscience—and her heart—get a workout. Anon and Scam must both put family loyalties on the line for the sake of survival. And Bellwether’s glorious-leader mojo deserts him.

    Who’s left to lead the Zeroes into battle against a new, murderous army?

      This is was interesting sequel, though a bit slower than the first novel. I enjoyed it, because the concept is cool and the language is extremely realistic and contemporary with today's slang. The slight bits of humor are still prevalent in the tale, which adds to the reality-feel of the tale. Though the ending was a little hard to swallow. 4 out 5 STARS

      I really should have known better than to start a Westerfeld trilogy before it finished. Yes, I know he's not the only author, but his previous trilogies still should have taught me that the second book always ends with me going "Nooooooooo!" That said, I still loved this book and I love the characters and I have faith in the author that it will end satisfyingly. We rejoin our heroes six months after the events of the previous book. It's just before Christmas and the Zeroes have built a nightclub to experiment with their powers over a happy crowd. When some new Zeroes from another town show up and wreak havoc, they find themselves unexpectedly trying to save people. It does not go as planned. There's a fair amount of humor, some sweetness, a whole lot of drama, and some very, very sad parts. And now I have to wait a year to find out how it all turns out!

      How do teens handle the responsibilities that come with unusual powers - the kind that let you do what you want without consequences? The stakes are higher in this second book of the trilogy and all the Zeroes are grappling with how to manage their powers and not let their darker sides take control.
