Among The Ruins by James Magnus Carmichael

5.0

Second book in the series and Senior Detective Corsa Moran is finding herself in the hot seat again. Finding a body of a young man in an empty immigration building sets of a series of event that change the way Corsa looks upon the new world system.

From knife fighters to underhand child adoptions, Corsa faces it all, but this time she seems to have a little team, willing to help and be ready for anything.

I love Corsa Moran as a character. She is rude, ruthless and always on the side of what is right and she is not afraid to step on toes to get to the truth even when it means losing something she treasures. And whilst reporters dig into her personal life and put the man she loves in danger, she faces an enemy much bigger than she ever expected – she just has to work out how to take them down.

I enjoyed this second book even more than the first as it delved deeper into the schematics of the new world, created after the floods. It’s a fascinating read with flashes of future that is no so unbelievable as we might like to think!
