Nova’s double life is about to get a lot more complicated:
As Insomnia, she is a full-fledged member of the Renegades, a syndicate of powerful and beloved superheroes. She works with Adrian’s patrol unit to protect the weak and maintain order in Gatlon City.
As Nightmare, she is an Anarchist - a group of of villains who are determined to destroy the Renegades. Nova wants vengeance against the so-called heroes who once failed her when she needed them most.
But as Nova, her feelings for Adrian are deepening, despite the fact that he is the son of her sworn enemies and, unbeknownst to Nova, he has some dangerous secrets of his own.
In this second installment of the Renegades trilogy, Nova, Adrian, and the rest of their crew – Ruby, Oscar, and Danna -- are faced with escalating crime in Gatlon City, while covert weapons and conflicting missions have Nova and Adrian questioning not only their beliefs about justice, but also the feelings they have for each other.
The line between good and evil has been blurred, but what's clear to them both is that too much power could mean the end of their city – and the world – as they know it.

Review: Archenemies by Marissa Meyer
Review:
Renegades was such a fantastic story, I was eager to get my hands on Archenemies, the second book in the Renegades trilogy. Originally it was listed as a duo logy and honestly, I think it should have stayed that way.
Archenemies starts off where Renegades left off. Nova is living two different lives, one of a Renegade and one was an Anarchist. Her loyalties are strained and her heart is confused. The entire book is focused on her getting closer to Adrian and being able to get to Ace’s helmet, which is housed in Renegade headquarters. Danna, a fellow Renegade is growing suspicious of Nova, while Adrian is falling deeper for her.
I enjoyed Renegades so much.
Sadly, Archenemies wasn’t as thrilling. I loved diving back into the world of the Renegades and spending more time with Nova and Adrian. But honestly, not much happened. A few key events but overall, Archenemies felt like a filler middle book. I wanted there to be more action. Much of the book was dragged out and felt long.
I really wanted the high tension and action of Renegades to filter into Archenemies, but for me, it didn’t hold the same intensity.
But yes, of course I’m still going to finish the trilogy. The overall story is too good and we’re just starting to really see where Nova’s allegiance lies. If she is truly a Renegade or an Anarchist at heart.
