The sequel to the unmissable and hugely romantic young adult fantasy Only a Monster, set in London, will take Joan deeper into the monster world, where treacherous secrets and danger await.
Not every fight is won by heroes. Sometimes, you need a monster.
Joan has achieved the impossible. She reset the timeline, saved her family – and destroyed the hero.
But success has come at a terrible cost. She alone remembers what happened. Aaron, her hard-won friend – and maybe more– is now her enemy. And Nick, the boy she loved, doesn’t even know her name.
Then an attack forces Joan back into the monster world as a fugitive, where she discovers a secret that threatens everyone she loves. Now Joan must re-gather her allies to face down a deadly enemy, and save the timeline itself . . .

** Praise for the Only a Monster series **
A captivating new voice in fantasy
Mind-bending, heart-wrenching, and unputdownable
A phenomenal new series
Like nothing I've ever read, utterly fresh and unique
An exciting, original and complex fantasy about monsters, heroes, and all the people in between
Darkly delicious fun. If you've been looking for your newest YA fantasy obsession - you've found it
An absolute page-turner
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
