Relation Concering Books Genius Squad (Genius #2)
Now that the Axis Institute for World Domination has been blown up; the founder, Dr. Phineas Darkkon, has died; and Prosper English (who enrolled Cadel in the first place) is in jail for myriad offenses, Cadel Piggott has round-the-clock surveillance so he'll be safe until he testifies against Prosper English. But nobody seems to want Cadel. Not Fiona, his social worker; not Saul Greeniaus, the detective assigned to protect him. When he is approached by the head of Genius Squad--a group formed to investigate GenoME, one of Darkkon's pet projects--Cadel is dubious Genius Squad can offer him a real home and all the technology his heart desires. But why can't he bring himself to tell Saul what the group is really up to? And how can Genius Squad protect Cadel once Prosper English breaks out of jail?

Quite a gap between reading this one and the first book, so there's a decent chunk of stuff I don't remember. Jinks is good at giving you the bare bones you need to understand so it wasn't totally confusing, and I remember the basic premise. The book was good, but admittedly I liked Cadel more when he was manipulating people. A villain training school is a neat concept, but now Cadel has switched sides and is trying to take down the villains. Granted, he realized he's been manipulated his wholeAn ex-Mountie tries to protect an angelic-looking teenage genius from the criminal masterminds who raised him. With a plot that sounds like the coolest Due South/SGA crossover ever, this book should be awesome, right? Sadly, not so much. I was hoping this sequel to Evil Genius would correct some of the problems I had with that bookand there seemed like thered be a good chance, as one of the things I didnt like was the ending. However, book two mostly just exacerbates all the issues I had. Squad
It was really good! I can't wait to start the next book!!! The characters are really interesting and the plot was so good as well. I feel like it has a great depth of emotional realism.
This is an enjoyable light read that kept me on the edge of my seat despite having many of its plot points predictable. The constant checks on the characters feelings is charming.
This book was really good, but the main part where someone gets kidnapped, only lasts for about a couple chapters until a detective comes and saves him. Although the main part was late, the start of the story still kept me entertained, especially with Cadel joining Genius Squad, which ended up leading to all the action parts in the story. The book had a good ending, but it left you in the dark about some things.
bad. most was focused on prosper english. I wanted to know more
I loved the first book in this trilogy, Evil Genius, unfortunately the follow-up didnt have the same spark. Cadel Piggott is a pretty fascinating protagonist: an effeminate-looking boy genius raised with no moral compass by henchmen. He developed a conscience over the course of Evil Genius, and he spends most of Genius Squad struggling with it: balancing his desire to solve puzzles and exercise his mind with his instructions to lie low and be a good boy. Both novels have a diverse and
