Michael and the remaining members of the Electroclan are shocked when Jack reveals he has gone to the side of the evil Chasqi and is now a traitor, which adds to their stress to rescue Tara from the evil Chasqi's clutches. But Taylor makes a bold decision that turns everything around. Now they must rescue both the Ridley twins AND stop the Chasqui from killing thousands of people in the city of Arequipa. Will the Electroclan's luck finally run out?

The writing was a little poor. Compared to the original Michael Vey series, this book struggles to compare. But Michael Vey fans will love to see all their favorite characters come back in this second sequel. If written better, it could be really good and a lot more enjoyable. It does have its moments, but it definitely has lots of things it could improve on.

The main characters are white.
