3 Reasons Why You Should Read Andromache #2: Andromache in the Dark by Gabriel Bergmoser

What’s the book about?

The page-turning, action-packed sequel to Andromache Between Worlds.

Andromache Peters thought that saving her dad from a parallel universe would be the end of her adventures. But then Vincent Black, the villain who sent him there, escapes from prison and suddenly everything Andromache fought so hard for is at risk.

So when a secret organisation asks Andromache for her help catching Black, she’s all too ready to say yes, especially with her best friends Rylee and Tobias along for the ride. They’ve already defeated him once, after all; how hard can it be to do it again?

As Andromache’s quest takes her to strange and dangerous new worlds filled with robot police, giant centipedes and suspicious soldiers, she’ll soon learn that sometimes the deadliest threats come from the last place you’d expect.
