Story
Kate Harker and August Flynn are the heirs to a divided city - a city where the violence has begun to breed actual monsters. All Kate wants is to be as ruthless as her father, who lets the monsters roam free and makes the humans pay for his protection. All August wants is to be human, as good-hearted as his own father, to play a bigger role in protecting the innocent - but he's one of the monsters. One who can steal a soul with a simple strain of music.

Story
Ever since Cass almost drowned (okay, she did drown, but she doesn't like to think about it), she can pull back the Veil that separates the living from the dead...and enter the world of spirits. Her best friend is even a ghost. So things are already pretty strange. But they're about to get much stranger. When Cass's parents start hosting a TV show about the world's most haunted places, the family heads off to Edinburgh, Scotland. Here, graveyards, castles, and secret passageways teem with restless phantoms. And then Cass meets a girl who shares her "gift"....

Story
Olivia Prior has grown up in Merilance School for Girls, and all she has of her past is her mother’s journal—which seems to unravel into madness. Then, a letter invites Olivia to come home to Gallant. Yet when Olivia arrives, no one is expecting her. But Olivia is not about to leave the first place that feels like home; it doesn’t matter if her cousin Matthew is hostile, or if she sees half-formed ghouls haunting the hallways.

Story
I decided that Orion Lake needed to die after the second time he saved my life. Everyone loves Orion Lake. Everyone else, that is. Far as I’m concerned, he can keep his flashy combat magic to himself. I’m not joining his pack of adoring fans. I don’t need help surviving the Scholomance, even if they do. Forget the hordes of monsters and cursed artifacts; I’m probably the most dangerous thing in the place. Just give me a chance and I’ll level mountains and kill untold millions, making myself the dark queen of the world.

Story
It's been 297 days since David died - and came back. He may have survived the avalanche, but the aftermath has been far worse. His wife moved out, taking his son with her, and a devastated David hasn't left his house since, terrified of the mysterious new power that followed him home from the ill-fated expedition. After months in seclusion, David's ready for a fresh start, and ventures out, determined to keep his power in check. But David's power isn't the one he needs to worry about.

Story
"The Near Witch" is only an old story told to frighten children. If the wind calls at night, you must not listen. The wind is lonely and always looking for company. There are no strangers in the town of Near. These are the truths that Lexi has heard all her life. But when an actual stranger, a boy who seems to fade like smoke, appears outside her home on the moor at night, she knows that at least one of these sayings is no longer true.

Publisher's Summary
A New York Times bestseller
The bestselling 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.
A gorgeously written dark fantasy from New York Times–bestselling author Victoria Schwab, and one to hand to fans of Holly Black, Laini Taylor, and Maggie Stiefvater.

Was expecting more
I quite enjoyed the first novel and found this a disappointment in comparison. Was hoping and waiting for a lot more to happen then what came of it.

Better then This Savage Song!
I want to start by saying that I did not enjoy This Savage Song. I found the story to be underwhelming and lacked character development throughout the book. I also found the first book to be a slow read and by the end of the book, I was not invested in either the story or the characters. With that being said, I heard that the ending to Our Dark Duet was a beautiful way to end the Duology and was well worth the read. As a result, I decided to listen to the second book.
I would say that the character development I felt was lacking in this Savage song was delivered beautifully in Our Dark Duet. By the end of Our Dark Duet, I felt invested in the story and its characters which was something I hadn't felt in the first book. I would also argue that the second book is much faster paced and held my attention significantly more than the first book. Our Dark Duet is a much more complex story then This Savage song. In the second book, there is major character development and the plot is a lot more fast-paced and intriguing. The world Schwab has created is unique and creative. As a result, I would say that if you did not enjoy the first book then I would still give the second book a try. The way I see it is This Savage Song is world-building, info-dumping and setting the scene for Our Dark Duet. The real story of Kate and August takes off in Our Dark Duet. Therefore, I would say Our Dark Duet is worth reading. I initially didn't find Schwab's writing to be great however, I am going to pick up another book by her because of Our Dark Duet.

Why Kate!
August is still tortured but stronger. Kate is still a badass but even more so. Ilsa is still alive!!!!! (yay! 😁) And this piece of shit Sloan hasn't died off yet (ugh!) . . . At least when the story begins. I didn't like the outcome for a few important characters but I can admit their outcomes made it a better story.

Dragged down by complete lack of light, fun, hope
What a downer. Kate and August travel separate paths in separate lands for the first half of this book, surrounded by forgettable supporting characters. Meanwhile the big bad and his number two are ridiculously evil to the point where it’s not credible to think any humans would join them. For that matter, there’s never a satisfying rationale as to why humans ally with August and the other Sunai. There are only one-note characters …and that note is darkness. There’s no humor, no sweetness, no light. And, when the basic premise is that monsters are born when humans kill, there’s no hope for humanity either.

Not as enjoyable as the first book for me
I can’t get into it much without spoiling it but I’ll just say I didn’t enjoy the plot of this book as much as I enjoyed the first book. The pacing was a bit slow for me and I had a few problems with the way it ended. Overall, it was still a good listen.

Amazing Finish!
These books are so special! They are sad, action packed, terrifying, and brutally honest. The narrator was amazing! She held the sharpness and sarcasm, it really made the story better! Our Dark Duet was even better than the first! Despite breaking my heart into tiny pieces, I enjoyed this! Both August and Kate grew so much! The ending was hear wrenching but final. Even the sad stuff was done so well, I wasn’t mad. My only complaint is the ending let some doors wide open. However, I’m so glad I finally finished this series!

This sequel to Savage Song did not let me down.
Although like 90% of books and movies, this was predictable to some extent, but also full of great surprises, including the end.

Unenticing start spirals to a biting grip mid-book
The beginning of Our Dark Duet left me struggling to get through, and thinking the magic had been lost in Schwab's tight storytelling. However, the shallow storytelling and slow plot pick up around the middle of the book and keeps you hooked until the end, fleshing out what felt missing in the beginning section and bringing more understanding and lore. Worthwhile read and great narrator.

What The . . . . Just Happened ?
Victoria Schwab is one of the most amaZing writers. I love everything she puts out. But I will admit that this particular story, Killed Me. Never has she made me cry, so saddened by the out come. This book has it all and if you don't fall in love with most of the characters, you're heartless yourself. I hate spoilers , just know this was minimal in romance, but heavy on the heart and does tug on your heart strings - it rips your heart out and devours it with one bite. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
