Author:
Cady Vance is
currently a PhD student. She has written several books, and enjoys
speculative fiction. Read more about her at her website.
Description:
Gwen Kane is ready
to join in the family business – being a vigilante (also known as
superhero). Yet, during a training session, her father is arrested
for a murder he did not commit. In an attempt to clear her father,
she befriends the other vigilante in town, and discovers his secret.
Appraisal:
Vigilante …
super heroes. They can be the same person, but usually it depends on
which side of the situation you are standing. Gwen Kane’s father
goes from super hero to vigilante to murderer in just a matter of
hours, and she wants to clear his name.
Towton City is run
by two crime families, which would love nothing more than to see Gwen
Kane’s father stay in prison and make the street just a little more
accessible for them.
To get to her
goal, Gwen befriends the other vigilante in town, who happens to be
someone who she already knows – and someone with a lot of secrets.
The dynamic
between Gwen and Silas was great. They had a relationship that made
you want to root for them every step of the way, even when the
situation got complicated. Also, their relationship didn’t get in
the way of the overarching story.
However, the book
was a bit darker than I had expected, but nothing that would have
made me put down The Madmen’s City.
