A thrilling dystopian adventure from the author of Untamed... All her life, adrenaline-junkie Keelie Lin-Sykes has known what she wants: to protect her brother and sisters by killing as many of the soulless Enhanced Ones as she can. Oh, and to have fun while she's doing it. After all, hiding in a secret Untamed community, while the group's Seer warns them of danger, shouldn't mean that life can only be serious, right? But, when a face from her past suddenly—and secretly—shows up, Keelie's catapulted back into the very world she's been trying to escape from for the last ten years: a world of guilt, lies, and...love. And the deeper Keelie gets, the bigger the risks become. Now Keelie must play the most dangerous game of her life if she's to continue protecting her family. But this game—and her love—may just destroy her. Now, Keelie must deceive those she values most in order to protect them, even though her actions will destroy everything she knows and haunt her family forever. But she can't ignore her feelings—not again. And Keelie will do anything to be with the man she loves.

REVENGE IS NEVER EASY... Aged five, Inga was snatched from her sister's arms by Bridie's Assassins, a group of Untamed rebels who believe the way to win the War of Humanity is to use more Untamed children as soldiers. For seven years, Inga's life consisted of violence, exploitation, and death as they shaped her into their most deadly weapon. Then she escaped. Now twenty-one, Inga has spent the last six years seeking revenge on the assassins—using the skills they taught her against them—and trying to find her family. She knows the Gods and Goddesses are behind her, because with every assassin she murders, Inga's gifted with a vision of her cousins, Keelie and Elf. And soon—very soon—Inga is sure she will find her family again. She's just got to kill all the assassins first. But when she discovers her own sister is now leading the assassins, Inga's resolve is tested. Sure, she will stop at nothing to get the life she deserves—even if it means putting other Untamed in danger and losing herself—but can she kill her own flesh and blood? "Madeline Dyer's This Vicious Way is an unyielding exploration into the motivations of a young assassin. Inga's determination to end the cycle of abuse that shaped her life makes for a gritty, heartbreaking, and captivating story." — Sarah Mensinga, author of Currently "This Vicious Way is brutal in all the best ways. It will suck you in and tear you apart, put you back together and then do it all over again. What a ride! If you want a fantastic dystopian world, with unique and flawed (but totally kick-ass) characters—this is totally the book for you." — Stacey Trombley, author of Trial of Thorns

THERE'S ONLY SO FAR YOU CAN RUN… As a child, Kacey was possessed by the Beast. The Beast made her kill people. A lot of people. After that, Kacey vowed to squash the Beast down, pretend to be 'normal', and to never kill another human—Untamed or Enhanced—again. She managed this then—but now that she's twenty-one years old and living amid the War of Humanity, things are much harder. When Kacey's Untamed group lay siege to an Enhanced city, a betrayal from within ruins everything. Barely escaping from the tunnels under the city, Kacey and the other Untamed survivors find themselves on the run, with the enemy hot on their trail. But, for once, the Enhanced Ones aren't the Untamed's biggest threat; something else is. Something they do not understand. Something that is causing the very fabric of the universe to unravel. With the dead no longer staying dead, time itself reshuffling, and Kacey's past haunting her, she must learn from her mistakes and fix the future before it can happen. Only that way will the world be stable enough for the Seventh One to fulfil the augury and end the War of Humanity once and for all. But when fixing things means Kacey must work with the Beast, and 'winning' also means losing her most-loved, can turning herself into a monster ever be worth it?
