Our Dark Duet by Victoria Schwab
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
An exciting sequel to “This Savage Song” finds familiar characters darkened by layers of trauma and complexity yet still striving in a fractured way toward a shared goal: safety, security, validation, and victory. So many YA stories are oversimplified romances whose plots drive toward romantic outcomes, and I love that this one is not, though there are great amounts of love in endless (and subtle) quantities. Schwab packs a tight one-two punch in her two “Monsters of Verity” books.
