Us Deadly Few

Us Dark Few Series, Book 2

By: Alexis Patton

Narrated by: Raquel Beattie

Khalani Kanes never imagined surviving Braderhelm Prison, let alone escaping to the desolate surface they had been told was uninhabitable.

Haunted by the Governor of Apollo's dark secrets, Khalani and her crew of criminals embark on a new perilous journey.

Now, the true test begins as Khalani ventures through the treacherous Death Zone toward the nearest underground city, Hermes. Abandoned relics of a once-great nation are not the only threats on the barren road. Violent storms sweep across the Death Zone, the deadly Takeshi Steele has resumed his cold detachment, and unsettling signs suggest they might not be alone on the surface.

To survive in this unforgiving world, Khalani must draw on her strength and harrowing experiences from Braderhelm. For a new kind of prison awaits in the corrupt city of Hermes—one where she finds herself trapped with the man who aggravates her the most. But this time, they'll likely perish before escaping alive.

The narrative's clarity allowed for immediate re-engagement

This is an exceptional apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic/dystopian novel; the pacing is excellent, and the slow burn narrative is masterfully executed. The cliffhanger ending leaves me eagerly anticipating the next installment. Furthermore, the narrative's clarity allowed for immediate re-engagement without the need for a reread.

Slow burn. Cliffhanger. 5/5

TAKESHI STEELE. Incredible story, great narration, great friendships and side characters. Exciting, exhilarating, funny, suspenseful, devastating, twists, tall brooding protector, strong fmc.

Amazing book

This book will stick with me. This series was really haunting. I love the characters. I love the relationships between everyone and their journey. It was just what I needed after reading so many romantasys lately. Thrilling. Fast paced.

I read this book in 2 days

God I love a slow burn, the tension is tensioning. The best thing about this book is all the relationships between all the characters. It just feels organic and real.
Such a fun progression in the story. The plot and writing have been so much fun. I’m genuinely surprised this book hasn’t blown up yet.

Amazing

The slow burn of the love story is just steamy as all gets out. Ugh 😍 I am so excited for book 3!! It’s a lovely story.
