Goodreads Synopsis:

Iko – an audacious android and best friend to the Lunar Queen Cinder – has been tasked with hunting down Alpha Lysander Steele, the leader of a rogue band of bioengineered wolf-soldiers who threaten to undo the tenuous peace agreement between Earth and Luna. Unless Cinder can reverse the mutations that were forced on them years before, Steele and his soldiers plan to satisfy their monstrous appetites with a massacre of the innocent people of Earth.

And to show he’s serious, Steele is taking hostages.

Cinder and Kai, Scarlet and Wolf, Cress and Thorne, and Winter and Jacin all feature in this epic new battle. But it is Iko who must face her deepest fears when she uncovers the truth about her own unusual programming.

Review:

I didn't realize that this series was only two volumes long, or I would have read it faster.

I didn't mind the plot line in this series. We get to see Iko adventure out on her own, hunting down the beasts, and trying to stop Alpha Steele from his nefarious plans. Of course, she gets to meet up with the rest of the group at different intervals, as they are always there for each other and ready to help when it's needed. I did like getting to see Iko grow into her own, explore her humanity and what makes her who she is when she's a robot, and her relationship with Kinney grow.

While I might not have loved the actual plot of this particular spin-off—any more time that I get with this group of characters is the best. Getting to see Cress and Thorne, Scarlet and Wolf, and Cinder and Thorne together again is always my favorite.

I really think this series would make an amazing TV show. It would have to be a long one, and it would be amazing.
