The Empty Ones: A Novel (The Vicious Circuit Book 2)

The Empty Ones continues the story from The Unnoticeables, following a group of misfits as they battle mysterious angel-like creatures called the Unnoticeables. Carey and Randall travel to London to rescue Gus and confront more of these creatures, where they encounter an unexpected ally. Simultaneously, Kaitlyn continues her fight in the deserts of Mexico and the Southwest US, pursuing a mysterious gear cult. She uncovers their plan to 'pin' the angels to Earth and focus their attention on humanity, with the goal of 'solving' people—which the cult views as a form of salvation. Through this discovery, Kaitlyn learns something significant about herself. The novel combines horror and comedy, maintaining the tone of its predecessor while escalating the intensity. It blends terror with humor, visceral action with absurdity, and chaos with beauty. This is the second book in The Vicious Circuit trilogy.
