For the most hated crew on Requiem, the only way out is up. 

It’s been four months since runaway heiress Asa crash-landed on the matriarchal outlaw colony Requiem, bringing a nasty AI and a host of deadly secrets with her. Now, she runs with her almost-girlfriend Riven’s smuggler crew, stealing kisses between gunfights and heists. But when a mysterious hacker sabotages their latest job, other gangs turn against them, blaming them for the destruction the rogue AI caused. Nowhere in the city is safe. 

The only way to protect their crew is a series of trials for control of an underworld faction–and vying for a matriarch’s throne is a dream Riven can’t let go. But as the trials intensify, the saboteur hounds Asa and Riven’s every step, determined to kill Asa and right her father’s wrongs. When the saboteur reveals a horrific conspiracy threatening all of Requiem–one involving the crew member they thought they’d lost–the girls must decide whether to risk their own skins for a city that loathes them."

What I liked:
City of Vicious Nights is a fast-paced, neon-drenched cyberpunk romp filled with imaginative tech, gritty settings, and fierce female-fueled romance. I liked this sequel's added cyber-punk hunger game feel as they join a trial race to become the matricah of the Rio Oscuro syndicate. The energy and world-building of this series are fantastic, and with each book, we expand the world just a little more, and the depth of the corruption becomes even more dangerous. Adding Asa's techomancer sister Kaya to the crew gives the series a boost in the sci-fi tech spectrum of the story.
Final Verdict:
Asa and her gang grew in leaps and bounds from the first book, and the author leaves this one open for more adventures to come. I like the relationships between the crew members and the whole space adventure, ai, cybernetics, and trying to take down the corruption that has run rampant from a program Asa and Kaya's dad started. I am on board for more of this series.
