In the riveting sequel to the reimagined superhero story The Brokenhearted, Anthem Fleet takes on a powerful new villain and makes some startling discoveries about her family and her past that will forever change her.
Taking up where The Brokenhearted ended, the sequel finds Anthem Fleet attempting to return to a normal life after an experimental surgery that left her with a bionic hummingbird heart and a terrifying new strength. But she can’t shake her suspicions about her father’s connection to the Syndicate and she can’t ignore the cries of help in the crime-ridden city of Bedlam. She finds new promise in her relationship with Ford, but after his lifesaving surgery, the Ford Anthem knew slips away.
When a mysterious new group called “The Invisible” starts attacking the privileged North Siders, Anthem has to step up and be the New Hope that Bedlam needs, or Bedlam will fall…once and for all.
Publishers Weekly called The Brokenhearted an “atmospheric, adventure-laced debut” with “graceful world-building, strong characterizations, and an enveloping plot.”

My Stance:
So this is a no brainer for the week. My list of books to feature was rather large, and while I haven't read the first book, (its coming up soon) this book has resurfaced as a book that going to be an overlooked bestseller. Frankly being one Aubrey's best picks for last year, The Brokenhearted created a rather large following and the fanbase for that movie just went wild. So it wasn't a hard choice on whether to feature this book or not.
I want to mention more about the book, but I am about to start The Brokenhearted so I just can't read the synopsis in fear of spoiling something. I want to, don't get me wrong, but there is something in this novel that screams enjoyment to me. All the glowing expectation and commotion with this book, has just stormed me and makes me want to dive into this book.
