Adrian and Nova, two teen superheroes, have a lot in common: a problematic hidden identity, a secret plan to avenge a family member's death, and a growing attraction to each other that is impossible to indulge simply because of who they are. As they navigate these complexities, they also continue their training as Renegades (law enforcement for Gatlon City) and wrestle with the ethics of a new weapon called Agent N, which nullifies superpowers forever. An omniscient narrator alternates between Adrian, aka Sketch and the Sentinel, and Nova, aka Insomnia and Nightmare, parsing out backstories, action, and emotions in a way that will hook readers. It's helpful to have read Renegades (2017) before beginning this bridge book, and a promised character list will help keep their multiple identities aligned. This enticing mix of superhero adventures and budding love story also tackles hefty ethical issues, and Meyer masterfully manipulates plot and characters to send readers racing for the last page and regret reaching it, especially when they're met by its suspenseful cliff-hanger.--Cindy Welch Copyright 2019 Booklist
