My rating: <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3263371667″>4 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
Imaginative, dark tale about a future world where monsters live alongside humans, where humans are divided, and where two teens from each of the warring and ruling families find their lives collide and escalate into a struggle for survival and answers. I really liked the protagonists in this story; Kate is the daughter of Callum Harker, the corrupt mastermind who’s made a fortune off his people’s fears and his monsters’ loyalty; August is the son of Henry Flynn, the idealistic doctor who rules the other half of a mega-city called Verity. August is also a Sunai, a rare and powerful monster that is born out of great human suffering and tragedy and whose gift is the ability to steal sinners’ souls (and therefore their lives) with music. But what is a “monster,” and what does it mean to possess humanity? And in a tenuous world where peace remains a concept, what mysterious forces are poking and cutting at the fragile threads that are preventing another great war? First of two books. Excited to read No. 2!
