Publisher's summary
Injecting the blood of an alien god can give you amazing powers…
If you live.
I thought I could trust my allies. I was wrong. Now we all have to pay the price.
A new, seemingly impossible quest from the Oracle has seared itself into my brain. Enemies are watching our every move. NIX is experimenting on my brother. And my new power is eating me alive.
Literally.
What is NIX planning? Can I keep my condition a secret long enough to get us out of here?
Is the genocidal, half-crazed alien imprisoned below our only hope of salvation? And if so, can we manage to free him…without getting ourselves killed?
Gods of Rust and Ruin is the second book in a dark and deliciously violent adventure series that combines science fiction and LitRPG elements. You'll love this book because of the electrifying action, flawed characters, and kick-ass heroine.
Get it now.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District–the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints–from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself. And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office karaoke night.

In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

When Alice Verianna went to sleep, she was just another teen from the Denver suburbs. She definitely didn't expect to be transported to a magical alternate dimension, inhabited by monsters and presided over by a mysterious System. Here, people resemble RPG characters and everyone has access to their own status screens. Grappling with the mechanics of the elusive System isn't the only challenge Alice faces. It seems an underground organization known as the Society of Starry Eyes has taken a particular interest in other dimensions.

A Secret Service operative and dedicated survivalist, Special Agent Del Roosevelt had a plan for every world-ending scenario and regularly trained for them all. He was even ready for a date with the hottest woman in his office next Friday. At least he hoped so. But all that training, all those rations, all that prepping? Useless for the apocalypse that actually played out. Del wakes up half-buried in a giant trash pile, missing his thumbs. And, um, covered in red fur. He's stuck in a world of fuzzy monsters, senseless violence, and cult-like crusaders.

An Ideal follow up to the first
As a simple disclaimer: "This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review."
That being said, I was surprised by the first book in that it shed many of the LitRPG tropes while adding a new thought process in. This one broadened the scope from the first and addressed some of my personal concerns (small world complex).
The story took a few turns I definitely would not have expected and while some of the path was clear. But none of the plot turns are aggressive and unbelievable in the scope of the story. Mixing in some political aspects into the world and some interesting fights and infighting.
Spoilers below:
Eve being sick and looking to self preserve is definitely reasonable, but at no point did it feel like she was truly hurting, just worried. The infighting caused by her lack of reliance on her friends could have been more divisive. I loved the political aspects added in and the inclusion of a "impossible" task with a planned attack and solution instead of a last minute... "oh yeah and this random thing occurred and fixed everything" was very welcome. The team could have had some more time together and more character building on their side but it was decently balanced enough and an ambitious story to fit in the pages given anyways, so that's a minor gripe at most.
In total, a well built story and an entertaining ride

Ancient prophecy revealed!
Welcome to the second volume of “Seeds of Chaos”. I knew there was something different or special about Eve; more so than an extra finger, although that was a huge clue. More of Eve’s real purpose is revealed along with the existence of an ancient prophecy. As in the first volume, the trials Eve and her squad were forced into became harder and more dangerous. The alien who was captured by Nix comes into play in this volume in a big way as he joins Eve’s squad. The last trial of the volume is a seemingly impossible task that Eve must accomplish or die. The tension is high, and the pressure is on as Eve and her squad fight for their very lives. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

But wait! There's MORE!
I was left very satisfied by book one.... book two takes the best things about book one and takes it to another level. The powers power up, the characters deepen, the plot thickens. If you've made it this far you probably already read book one, don't skip out on the second one in the series!
I was given a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an unbiased and honest review.

Gave what she needed
This book was awesome and gave Eve the needed sympathy that I felt she was somewhat lacking in the first. Great character development for all of them really and she has really interesting character dynamics and interactions. I also enjoyed that there were a bit more stats this time around. Totally recommend this book.

Starting to turn towards the cliche
I loved the first book of this series, and grew attached to the characters. I was excited to see what happened to them as the story continued to unfold. However, I’m getting nervous about the direction of a series that had so much potential.
First, this book just felt slower than the first one, and took me longer to get through. It wasn’t quite the same level of “can’t put it down”. I think this may be due to the shift away from action into a more psychological and political sphere, but I feel that both were not completely exploited to their potential. Especially with regards to the politics on the planet, it could be so much more in depth about tactics and manipulation that is involved in the power struggle “game”, but instead it just falls flat and sometimes the actions of characters don’t truly make sense.
Additionally, while in the first book Eve was mostly just a standard person thrust into a bad situation, in this book it takes a definite turn to the cliche. She’s not ordinary anymore but a special/chosen person, and rather than just saving her team, she’s suddenly responsible for so much more. I find these tropes overused in fiction and frankly boring. Not every character in a dystopia needs to suddenly become a huge hero that causes radical change; it’s unrealistic. Additionally, I feel like the characters became flat and lost some of the interactions and traits that made them seem real. They became a little more flat and one dimensional.
The narrator once again did a great job bringing the story to life, no complaints there!
Overall I’ll keep reading because I want to see how the story ends, but I felt this book wasn’t as good as the first.
