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 **
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
