When Villains Rise (Market of Monsters, #3)

If you are in a book slump, PLEASE PICK THIS UP!
The amount of WHIPLASH in this series is insane!
I devoured this series. Like three books within three days. The chapters are short, the protagonists are so morally grey they’re closer to villains, it’s fast-paced, and it had me psycho-analysing myself.
Henry, Kovit's surrogate father and former employer, had sold Kovit's information to the International Non-Human Police. His information would be made public in one week. Nita is still being tracked by the Black Market.
Nita needs a plan to make her and him more valuable alive and safe. This involves using Fabrico, enemy no.1, to break into his father's office so they can steal his company's information.
The black market would grovel at her feet.
And she would annihilate the corrupt INHUP.
Nita is really forced to question who she is becoming. Paralleled from book one, Fabrico is being tortured, but this time it is Nita playing her mother’s role.
We are really forced to question nature vs nurture, experience vs desires. For a YA series, this went dark and deep and I ate it up.
Asking what-ifs about people stole their agency for the choices they made in this life. But what could be. That was another question.
Nita learns that she can’t control others. The character growth from book one and the development through all forms of agency and decision-making was really fascinating to watch.
There is ACE REPRESENTATION!! I think this was handled beautifully! It wasn’t overdone and it was explained well without it feeling contrived. I felt SEEN.
"I don't know. I just don't think my feelings match what people say they re supposed to be." Nita couldn't explain it more than that. There was a disconnect between what she thought her feelings were supposed to be big, all-consuming, rose-tinted glasses, giddy with love and what she actually felt. Something strong and warm and fierce, but not really ... that. She didn't feel lust, she didn't want to rip his clothes off She didn't feel like he was perfect, his flaws were all still striking and real. But she did feel warm when she was with him, content and relaxed.
Finally, I hate Nita’s mother. She is making my top villain list for sure.
