Not every fight is won by heroes. Sometimes, you need a monster. The epic sequel to the unforgettable Only a Monster . . .

Despite the odds, Joan achieved the impossible. She reset the timeline, saved her family - and destroyed the hero, Nick.

But her success has come at a terrible cost.

She alone remembers what happened. Now, Aaron, her hard-won friend - and maybe more - is an enemy, trying to kill her. And Nick, the boy she loved, is a stranger who doesn't even know her name. Only Joan remembers that there is a ruthless and dangerous enemy still out there.

When a deadly attack forces Joan back into the monster world as a fugitive, she finds herself on the run with Nick - as Aaron closes in. As the danger rises - and Nick gets perilously closer to discovering the truth of what Joan did - Joan discovers a secret of her own. One that threatens everyone she loves.

Torn between love and family and monstrous choices, Joan must find a way to re-gather her old allies to face down the deadliest of enemies, and to save the timeline itself.

An exciting, original and complex fantasy about monsters, heroes, and all the people in between
An absolute page-turner
A captivating new voice in fantasy
A phenomenal new series
Like nothing I've ever read, utterly fresh and unique
Darkly delicious fun. If you've been looking for your newest YA fantasy obsession - you've found it
There are thought-provoking questions here about how much we are shaped by events versus any kind of innate goodness - or evil - and the plot slides smoothly along. I gobbled this up
Captivating ... a fast-paced book that's full of action and excitement
