Summary

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.

** Praise for the Only a Monster series **
Mind-bending, heart-wrenching, and unputdownable
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
