Summary
The sequel to the contemporary fantasy Only a Monster will take Joan deeper into the monster world, where treacherous secrets and even more danger await.

Despite 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 there is a ruthless and dangerous enemy still out there.

When a deadly attack forces Joan back into the monster world as a fugitive, she finds herself on the run with Nick - as Aaron closes in. As the danger rises - and Nick gets perilously closer to discovering the truth of what Joan did - Joan discovers a secret of her own. One that threatens everyone she loves.

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.©2023 Vanessa Len (P)2023 Hodder & Stoughton Limited

I read Monster when it first came out and recall really enjoying it. When I first started this audio book I felt annoyed because I couldn’t remember the first book, but honestly, the details that mattered were recalled enough that I didn’t feel like I needed to go back and read the first book. It was just so well written and narrated. Really enjoyed this, just sad that I now have to wait for book three!

Just wow

Wow. I loved the first book and thought it couldn't be topped. But this sequel was amazing. I could not stop listening. It was everything I wanted and more. Definitely worth a listen/read. Vanessa Len's character development and world building and overall plot was just fantastic. I couldn't even guess what was going to happen until it did. This book was a delightful read for all scifi/fantasy fans. I found myself as conflicted as our main girl Joan throughout both from Vanessa's writing and from Vera Chok's narration. An absolute gem of a series.

An amazing and action packed sequel
