Paula Stokes returns to the world of Vicarious in this sequel, a high-action psychological thriller with a protagonist out for vengeance.
When Winter Kim finds out that her sister is dead and that she has a brother she never knew about, only two things matter―finding what’s left of her family and killing the man who destroyed her life. Her mission leads her from St. Louis to Los Angeles back to South Korea, where she grew up.
Things get increasingly dangerous once Winter arrives in Seoul. Aided by her friends Jesse and Sebastian, Winter attempts to infiltrate an international corporation to get close to her target, a nefarious businessman named Kyung. But keeping her last remaining loved ones out of the line of fire proves difficult, and when all seems to be lost, Winter must face one last devastating decision: is revenge worth sacrificing everything for? Or can she find a spark of hope in the darkness that threatens to engulf her?

Review:
"The sci-fi world Winter inhabits expands and contracts in involving ways. The romance between Winter and Jesse heats up slowly but surely, with enough sizzle to keep readers interested but not so much that it overpowers the narrative's primary thrust. The author excels at weaving her characters and narrative together, making each element propel the others...The rare sequel that properly expands the characters, world, and themes of its predecessor." -Kirkus Reviews
"If you love kick-ass heroines with killer voices you're going to want to get acquainted with Winter Kim as she seeks revenge on the man who stole her childhood. Vicarious was one of my top reads of 2016, and Ferocious was everything I hoped for in a sequel...The Vicarious duology is a must read for fans of intense high-tech, psychological thrillers." -T.A. Maclagan, author of They Call Me Alexandra Gastone
Praise for Vicarious:"A total mind-bending thrill ride, with a heroine who's as smart as she is strong." -Lindsay Cummings, #1 NYT bestselling author of Zenith

"A powerful kick-ass girl caught up in a high-tech, twisty mystery...Buckle up, this thrill ride travels at breakneck speed."-Justine Magazine
"Pulse-pounding adventures and high-tech blend masterfully with romance, intrigue, and current issues, making this book completely captivating for any audience. After a mind-blowing revelation for Winter, Vicarious sets itself up as a series with a cliffhanger that will leave the reader begging for more." -VOYA (Voice of Youth Advocates), starred review
"The ensuing mystery is built upon some smart twists and turns and supported by some smart sci-fi world building.
