Publisher Description
Feared by many. Frightened of few. Torn between humanity and the monster she's become.
When Wynter surrendered to the DSD over two years ago, she thought she was protecting her friends. Lured by the promise of a cure, she hoped she might finally be rid of her devastating disease or, at least, be on the path to controlling it. But Dr. Richter was never interested in curing her.
With a collar around her neck keeping her unstable powers in check, Wynter is transformed into an unstoppable weapon. Compelled to do the State's bidding, she kills without feeling, remembering nothing of the people she gave herself up to protect. Her only thought is to obey.
When a mission goes wrong, triggering suppressed memories, Wynter finds herself determined to piece together her past. But as she uncovers the truth, she realizes it's no longer clear who the real enemy is, and with the threat of war looming, she must again make a choice. Can she escape her role in the impending destruction?
Or is she doomed to remain a monster forever?
In the second instalment of this gripping dystopian saga, loyalty is tested, alliances crumble, and the relentless battle for freedom reaches a fever pitch. Follow Wynter as she is forced to confront her deepest fears and find yourself immersed in a high-stakes battle for survival where the line between friend and foe becomes razor-thin.

Everything I Needed In A Sequel
First of all, if you haven't read the first book in the Project W.A.R. series, Ultraxenopia, stop what you're doing and go read that.
Type X starts up 2 years after the horribly awesome events of Ultraxenopia. Along with a jump in the time line, Wynter has a new set of killer abilities (literally) and absolutely zero memory of her time before she returned to the State and Dr. Richter (if it's been a while since you read Ultraxenopia, I would recommend a re-read to refresh your memory).
That being said, the rollercoaster that Wynter endures throughout the book is beyond emotional. It's raw and beautiful, and thank god for Ezra and Jenner who are her unconditional support system. The dynamic of this trio remains my favourite aspect of the story. They all love and protect each other at all costs, without question. (It kind of reminds me of the movie Savages, and the relationship between O, Ben and Chon.) Also, I'm super happy with the introduction of Quinn! He's a bit rough around the edges, but definitely working his way to the top of my favourites list.
Dr. Richter remains my favourite dystopian villain. He was terrible in the first book, but he took it to a new level in this book. And no matter how much I hate him, I respect him as a character and his dedication to his cause. However warped it may be. His obsession with Wynter is full blown Gollum and the Ring, but it's what makes him such a compelling villain. He genuinely believes that he is not in the wrong, and can justify what he's doing in his head.
Nolan on the other hand, I didn't like or trust from the start. Just because you're on Team Good Guy doesn't actually make you a good guy. Motives are everything, and if you're only out for power then you're not really a good guy.
The science background that was present throughout the first novel remains an important aspect of the sequel. We learn more about Wynter's blood type, and why it's so important to Dr. Richter. We also get an excruciatingly small glimpse into the past, Wynter's parents, and the rise of the State. Although I appreciated the teaser, it only left me begging for more.
This book was fast-paced, full of action and had plot twists every time I thought I had it figured out. The ending was perfectly horrible and I was in no-way ready for it. Book 3 cannot come fast enough!
