Book review: The Return of the NY Villains for Justice By Marta Nater

 


Review

The concept of the plotline is unique. The reason I bought it. With an underlining message about racial tension which the author feels very serious about. It comes through each character as she addresses actual issues within the different cultures. Bringing her point through different and vivacious scenarios.  

I appreciated the introduction chapter to the book that fills you in about each character and where they fit in. Like Lego blocks, everything fits together to form the complete story.

Plenty of drama and romance fills this page. Superheroes that come alive as they defend the injustices done to children, women, and those not able to defend themselves.

A new villain is introduced, Amadou Diallo. He becomes NY City's latest vigilante as he hangs white supremacists and known racists. While law enforcement tries to stop him, a series of events cause Nina and Cora to resume their vigil against all pedophiles, rapists, and child abusers. Once again, New York is plunged into chaos as the villains look to force the government to create firmer punishments for these atrocities. As the villains seek change in society, they also face life-transforming situations within the group.

Some things I didn’t like about the writing was the on the nose writing, and continuous repeats which made it a hard read. This was more of a tell than show book which made it a slow read.

The Return of the NY Villains for Justice

By: Marta Nater


The Return of the NY Villains for Justice is the second novel in this series by author Marta Nater. It highlights the story of each villain and their different struggles for social justice. Amadou fights for black lives and prejudice within the law enforcement system in the Bronx (and all over the country), Nina Dansk and Cora Rollins (along with the beast Shadow Claw) fight for harsher punishments for pedophiles and rapists, and Jerico Raven and Danny Rojas fight for order in their precinct. The villains are very passionate for justice and will stop at nothing to achieve it, no matter the consequences.
