Another of this series, and I really enjoyed it yet again! I'm so glad I found Madeline Dyer and got to read these books by her!
This is the darkest of Dyer's books so far. It's about assassins and ruthless violence, but at its heart it's got tender moments too. And it's very poignant.
I loved the links to the first book--those were a really nice touch--and Inga is such an interesting character, being written as somewhat unlikeable.
I'm a little confused since it is a series. I totally jump to read this without any knowledge on the previous ones. I'm sorry. But, this book is cool and amazing. The dystopian feels of the book is great and i love the characters so much. Need to check out the previous books for better understanding.
New to me author, Madeline Dyer pleasantly surprised me with this fast-paced and action-packed dystopian story. The blurb intrigued me a lot and I am happy to have had the chance to read this book.
The world-building was great and the characters were well presented and were relatable. I absolutely loved Inga, she was a fierce heroine. She was strong-headed and lethal and she never loosed focus when it came to getting her revenge. The storyline alternates between the present and flashbacks of her time training to be an assassin, which I thought worked perfectly for the reader to get a clear picture of what was going on. This story was definitely darker than I expected and I found myself glued to the pages.
Emotional, heart-gripping and suspenseful, This Vicious Way is a must-read. I recommend it!
I didn’t realise this was part of a series and think I was missing out on a fair amount of stuff from having not read the first book. It was ok, but I was left a little confused.
A brutal, beautifully written tale of revenge. The worldbuilding is knife-sharp and the characters are well-written. This book is nonstop action, while still balancing character. And I love her prose. It’s straight forward, with moments of true beauty. I’m a fan!
A book that I could barely put down, it actually had me putting off sleep so I could finish it. Again a dark fantasy world and characters that you wanted to know everything about. Bring on Book 3! Thank you for my ARC NetGalley.
the second book in her Dangerous Ones series. The sixth set in her Untamed universe! You guys, this one is so intense, even from the first page. I love the world Dyer has created, and it’s so thrilling to come back to it with a different character perspective, especially one so ruthless. I ya is sure to go down as one of my favorite revenge-driven characters ever! Have you read this series? 😍
I read this book in a little over a day. I literally could not stop reading it. It was a lot darker than the previous book in the series. But it had an incredible storyline and character interaction.
A great follow up to the first book, although focused on a different character more, I still really enjoyed this, another fast paced read full of action, strong female leads, great characters, pick this up you won’t be disappointed. This is the second in a series but I think you can read as a standalone
Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion
The second instalment of The Dangerous Ones was not at all what I had expected. The main story focused on a completely different character but managed to make it all connect and flow well. I will definitely be checking out the later instalments since I need to know what happens next
I couldn't read this book fast enough. I had so many questions reading it that I just devoured it looking for answers.
Although it is set in the same world as Madeline Dyer's previous books, This Vicious Way has a darker feel to it and reads well as a standalone.
The way the story unfolds switching between current day and flashbacks adds a depth to the main characters, as a picture of what led them to become the people they are today slowly reveals itself. Having two starkly different female lead characters who have developed in such contrasting ways, despite their shared childhood experiences, made this book a really interesting read.
As with all good books, there is the one character you love from the second you meet them, and the one you find that you love to hate. For me, these characters were Amelia and Falkes respectively, Amelia for her warmth and acceptance of Inga, and Falkes because as much he was a hateful specimen, I found I had a grudging respect for him and the motivation behind some of his actions.
This is a fast-paced, action-packed book, but at the same time manages to be deeply emotional, and at times completely heart-breaking.
