City of the Dead

Hawk, the daughter of Maximum Ride, teams with her mother up to help save their beloved but dangerous city in this action-packed thriller.
For Hawk, being a hero weighs heavily on her wings.
In the City of the Dead, life happens in the shadows. That's why a war is brewing against an enemy no one can see.
Hawk and Maximum Ride never back down from a conflict, or from each other, and they argue more than they agree.
But as the dead begin to outnumber the living, a mother's experience and a daughter's instinct can make one powerful arsenal.
"I’ve never been much of a morning person, and seeing the Council first thing doesn’t improve my mood. The Council was formed after McCallum was overthrown and the thug families of the Six went down with him. I know that bullets and bragging are no way to run a city, but I don’t think that boring meetings at six in the morning are the way to go, either. I’m yawning and have a knuckle in my eye when somebody says my name. I look up to find that every adult in the room is looking at me and I don’t know what the question was. Or even who asked it. “Um...” I play for time, scanning faces, hoping one of them seems
friendly."
