Our Dark Duet: A Monsters of Verity Novel

(2) YA Alternating narrators Kate and August (from This Savage Song) race to destroy the Chaos Eater. Free verse integrated into Kate's chapters reflects Kate's fragmented glimpses of the monster. Subplots involving nuanced secondary characters (including August's nonbinary sibling Soro) raise the stakes further. Suspenseful action sequences are well paced, with affecting moments of understanding and tenderness building to a satisfying if not happy ending.
