Publisher's Summary

These Violent Delights meets This Savage Song in this sequel to the contemporary fantasy Only a Monster from Vanessa Len that New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Garber called "mind-bending, heart wrenching, and unputdownable!”

Despite all of 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 a greater and more dangerous enemy is still out there.

When a deadly attack forces Joan back into the monster world, she finds herself on the run with Nick—as Aaron closes in.

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.

Vanessa Len’s stunning Only a Monster trilogy continues with this second installment, a thrilling journey where a secret past threatens to unravel everyone's future.

Exciting, original YA fantasy!

I had to buy this audiobook after listening to the first one at the library…but they didn’t have a copy of the sequel!

This is an excellent addition to the series and Vera Chok does a great job on the narration. I love the world building, the time travelling, and the unexpected twists and turns.

There are still so many unanswered questions though! I’ll wait as patiently as I can for the next book in this series.

My one complaint with both this book and the previous one was that there was a lot of repetition of key details that the author doesn’t want you to miss, and way too many descriptions of how incredibly gorgeous Nick and Aaron are. We get it. They’re hot. But besides that, the story has me gripped!

An emotional adventure story

Such a great follow up to the first book. I loved how the relationships evolve in unexpected directions in this new timeline. We get to see the might-have-beens, while we did deeper into what’s really going on in the monster world.
