Archenemies (Renegades Trilogy, #2)

by Marissa Meyer

A story of superheroes, villains, vengeance and forbidden love, Archenemies by Marissa Meyer is the fabulous sequel to the New York Times-bestselling Renegades.

Time is running out.
Together, they can save the world.
But they are each other's worst nightmare.

Nova's double life is about to get a lot more complicated:

As Insomnia, she is a fully-fledged member of the Renegades, a syndicate of powerful and beloved superheroes.

As Nightmare, she is an Anarchist - a group of of villains who are determined to destroy the Renegades. Nova wants vengeance against the so-called heroes who once failed her when she needed them most.

But as Nova, her feelings for Adrian are deepening, despite the fact that he is a Renegade and the son of her sworn enemies and, unbeknownst to Nova, he has some dangerous secrets of his own.

The line between good and evil has been blurred, but too much power could mean the end of their city - and the world - as they know it.

This is a super hero’s series so they are, of course, the main feature of secret identity’s and that what makes it great you never know when covers will be blown and everything will spiral out of control. Their a major conflict brewing in this second novel and it a moral dilemma in one of the main characters Nova. She conflicted about this new weapon Agent N that can be used to neutralize a superhero. It, not a weapon that sees Anarchist vs Renegades it just sees that you have this superpower and it has the ability to take it away permanently. Now we all know Nova is on the Anarchist side and she only trying to save her Uncle Ace. You can really feel the inner turmoil inside her as she questions how the Renegades are going to use this new weapon. Will there be abuse? What the guidelines for when you take down an Anarchist before you use Agent N on them? What if a Renegade gets caught in the cross fire? I really felt for her cause she really falling in love with Adrian and she adores Max but she feels loyalty to the Anarchist and the death of her family. There are some very plot moving twists that happen to various characters when they come into contact with Agent N and that going to really change up the way things play out in the next book. Now that brings us to the most traumatic part of the book and it at the end. The destruction of the quarantine and Max getting caught up in it. There were two major times in this story when I shed tears, one was when Max and his family really get to interact due to the medal and two was at the end when he fighting for his life. What a tear-jerker ending. I thought this was a two book series tell we got towards the end and I realized their not enough book left to finish off all these loose ends. I excited we get more story heck I wish there was more than just the last book but it rumored to be over 500 pages so their plenty of pages to give us a fantastic mind blowing ending and I expect no less from this author. This is an action packed story that keeps you guessing what the next twist will be a must read for super hero fans.
