New York City, 2118. Manhattan is home to a thousand-story supertower, a breathtaking marvel that touches the sky. But amid high-tech luxury and futuristic glamour, five teenagers are keeping dangerous secrets…

Leda is haunted by memories of what happened on the worst night of her life. She’ll do anything to make sure the truth stays hidden—even if it means trusting her enemy.

Watt just wants to put everything behind him…until Leda forces him to start hacking again. Will he do what it takes to be free of her for good?

When Rylin wins a scholarship to an upper-floor school, her life transforms overnight. But being there also means seeing the boy whose heart she broke, and who broke hers in return.

Avery is tormented by her love for the one person in the world she can never have. She’s desperate to be with him…no matter the cost.

And then there’s Calliope, the mysterious, bohemian beauty who arrives in New York determined to cause a stir. And she knows exactly where to begin.

But unbeknownst to them all, someone is watching their every move, someone with revenge in mind. After all, in a world of such dazzling heights, just one wrong step can mean a devastating fall.

Thoughts

The book carries on from where The Thousandth Floor left off, but we are introduced to a new character Calliope and her mother.

I found this to be just as riveting as the previous book in the series, and loved how the characters developed after the aftermath of The Thousandth Floor.

I thought the characters developed well during this story, I did like the budding relationship between Watt and Leda. I also found myself liking Leda a lot more in this book, it seemed that the relationship with Watt had a calming effect on her.
Even though this book has quite a lot of characters you do still manage to follow all their stories and understand when it changes to their point of view (I'm sure this book series has the most POV chapters than any other book I have read)

I really can't wait for the next book in the series, as this one does end on a cliffhanger (sometimes I really hate being up to date with a book series), and I really need to know what happens next to the characters.
