Kate Harker and August Flynn are the heirs to a divided city—a city where the violence has begun to breed actual monsters. All Kate wants is to be as ruthless as her father, who lets the monsters roam free and makes the humans pay for his protection. All August wants is to be human, as good-hearted as his own father, to play a bigger role in protecting the innocent—but he’s one of the monsters. One who can steal a soul with a simple strain of music. When the chance arises to keep an eye on Kate, who’s just been kicked out of her sixth boarding school and returned home, August jumps at it. But Kate discovers August’s secret, and after a failed assassination attempt the pair must flee for their lives."
Review:
I feel like I had dream like this once… and I liked it even better this time. Monsters who steal your soul by playing music???? Obsessed. A badass ruthless chick tryna prove she’s as cold as her father? Amazing. A monster and the chick running for their lives through the dangerous streets of Verity????? Fantastic.
August was an interesting character to read, wanting so desperately to be human, but cataclysmically isn’t. And Kate tries at every turn to be invincible and unbreakable. Both will fail and in the best way possible (for the story at least). I think the culprit behind reigniting the war between the sides of the Seam was obvious, but the ending elegy had my head SPINNING!!!!
Overall, an enjoyable read, I can’t wait to dive into the next installment! Let me know your own thoughts and feels down below in the comments!
