Description

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?

**each book in the Dangerous Ones series can be read as a standalone**

Advance Praise

"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 kickass) characters-- this is totally the book for you." -- Stacey Trombley, author of Trial of Thorns

Featured Reviews

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.

madeline dyers the vicious way is like a box of chocolates, sometimes sweet, sometimes dark and sumptuous its full of twists and turns as you ride alongside inga as she battles assassins and the enhanced. you journey between earthly and heavenly realms. the story teeters between the past and the present to understand the present you must understand the past. i couldnt put my kindle down as i met new characters along the journey that were so well formed you love or hate them and some you warm to slowly. madelines genius creation is one that will be a favourite to cuddle up and read.

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
