    About this ebook

    The sequel - and conclusion - to Victoria Schwab's instant #1 New York Times bestseller, This Savage Song. Kate Harker is a girl who isn't afraid of the dark. She's a girl who hunts monsters. And she's good at it. August Flynn is a monster who can never be human. No matter how much he once yearned for it. He has a part to play. And he will play it, no matter the cost. Nearly six months after Kate and August were first thrown together, the war between the monsters and the humans is a terrifying reality. In Verity, August has become the leader he never wished to be, and in Prosperity, Kate has become the ruthless hunter she knew she could be. When a new monster emerges from the shadows - one who feeds on chaos and brings out its victim's inner demons - it lures Kate home, where she finds more than she bargained for. She'll face a monster she thought she killed, a boy she thought she knew, and a demon all her own.

      "Our Dark Duet" is exactly how a final book should be. It doesn't try to wrap everything up neatly. It's ruthless, but full of hope.

      I highly recommend the Monsters of Verity series, as I believe it explores the duality between monsters and humanity in a really interesting way. Not necessarily original, but definitely interesting.

      I am also glad that, from all the Victoria Schwab books I want to read, this duology was the one I picked up first, as I really enjoyed the writing and made me want to read more of her stories.

      It's not bad, it's written beautifully. Let me begin with that. But... It lacked something.

      It lacked a bit of continuation from the last book. The time jump seems sort of logical, but also very sudden. What happened up to the point of the story was described really fast and I think it had made more sense if that part was also told.

      What also lacked was my love for the characters. In the first book, I was very intrigued by them both.. But in this book, it didn't feel the same. The characters weren't what drove the story, the story drove them. They were following the plot, not making it.

      I really wanted to love this more. The world is awesome and the creativity around it is beautiful. Unfortunately, I can't give this more than 3 stars.

      Although I enjoyed this book for the characters from Savage Song, I felt there was something lacking here. I still wanted to read every page and struggle to put it down but the ending certainly felt rushed and what I thought was going to be a glorious monstrous climax was over in the blip of a second. It was nice to see some new character development and struggles, I wish we had got to know some of the new characters a bit more and I wish that a certain red head hadn't been so much of a Chekhov's gun type situation... we are told about this awesome power and yet we never get to see it. The "loss" of her power was frustrating as a reader and when she goes dark we never get to see just how much strength she has.

      Overall enjoyable, but Savage Song was superier to its sequel in my opinion.
