“So what the hell's wrong with me?“ Nyx eased off the marble slab.
“Besides your deviant moral flexibility and severe phobia of emotional commitment?“ Yahfia asked.
“I consider those virtues,“ Nyx said.

I finished up Infidel yesterday and felt compelled to post a few more of Nyxnissa‘s badass quotes.

Also if you‘re going to tack “punk” on the end of something as a descriptor I feel it denotes a certain attitude, which this series has in excess.
pickOn the Muslim planet of Umayma, city-states engage in neverending holy war. All boys must serve their time at the front, leading to cities run and populated primarily by women. When men desert, an elite squad of women known as Bel Dames collect their heads.
Nyxnissa so Dasheem is a former Bel Dame and ultra-badass and fate conspires once again to put her up against ruthless killers and brings Rhys Dashasa back into her orbit. Bloody #bugpunk fun
Awwwww, Nyx and Rhys. One of these days these two crazy kids are going to work it out and ride off into the sunsets together...
Or, considering the one thing that Rhys asked Nyx for in exchange for his help is that she take a blood oath to never ever come find him no matter what happens ever again ever, maybe not.
Ain‘t love grand?
pickThis series just gets better and buggier. Full review over at Goodreads.
I guess it's fitting that my cover seems to be glowing for a book about a world with two suns.

pickI inhaled this book in a day. Hurley's background in historical and cultural academic study is threaded into every page. She's created a world so foreign and yet still familiar enough I had no trouble following character motivations. An exceptional middle book for this trilogy and not to be missed.
