After narrowly escaping Amaryllis City, Niko and her small group must find a safe haven. Now venturing with her younger brother, Jared and Ben, they begin their search for Ben’s hometown. This plan, however, does not go as desired and Niko loses Ben in the chaos. Staying strong and pushing on as we know this heroine to do, Niko, who now goes by Harm, meets a new comrade: Songhay. Together, they fight off slithers, and continue their journey of survival in the twisted place that is now the world.

Picking up right where Niko left off, Harm is a thrilling follow up to the first book in the Outsider Chronicles. It will not disappoint. The new characters introduced are extremely likable, and well developed. Songhay brings out a side of Niko that we have not seen yet. He breaks through her strong, cold exterior and humanizes her in a way that was much needed. It was nice to see someone that she could finally let her guard down with.

 The action scenes are just as compelling, if not more so, than the first novel. Packed with action, drama, tragedy, and even a bit of romance as a new love triangle begins to form. The banter between Niko and Jared will have you smiling. Once again, I must point out the connection to the Hunger Games saga- if you liked that series you must read the Outsiders Chronicles. I honestly have nothing bad to say about this book. Raet really out did herself this time. I can’t wait to read the next one!

This is a Publisher’s Read!

I give “Harm” 5 out of 5 stars.
