A New York Times bestseller
The bestselling sequel--and conclusion--to Victoria Schwab's instant #1 New York Times bestseller This Savage Song.
Kate Harker is a girl who isn't afraid of the dark. She's a girl who hunts monsters. And she's good at it. August Flynn is a monster who can never be human. No matter how much he once yearned for it. He has a part to play. And he will play it, no matter the cost.
Nearly six months after Kate and August were first thrown together, the war between the monsters and the humans is a terrifying reality. In Verity, August has become the leader he never wished to be, and in Prosperity, Kate has become the ruthless hunter she knew she could be. When a new monster emerges from the shadows--one who feeds on chaos and brings out its victim's inner demons--it lures Kate home, where she finds more than she bargained for. She'll face a monster she thought she killed, a boy she thought she knew, and a demon all her own.
A gorgeously written dark fantasy from New York Times-bestselling author Victoria Schwab, and one to hand to fans of Holly Black, Laini Taylor, and Maggie Stiefvater.
"Explosive."--Brightly

Review :
"Masterly writing, a fast-moving plot, and just the right amount of bittersweet romance make this book hard to put down."
-- "School Library Journal"
"Schwab folds questions of identity, morality, and judgment into her stunningly crafted narrative...Readers will be hard-pressed to put this action-driven finale down."
-- "Booklist (starred review)"
"The breakneck pacing of the climactic latter half eventually resolves into a poignant ending...Schwab's style is on point, as always."
-- "Kirkus Reviews"
"The real monsters are terrifying reflections of those that lay within the guise of guilt and sin, but August's desire to become more human is sweetly reminiscent of the classic Frankenstein creature. Like Shelley, Schwab explores what it means to be human, as well as what it means to love as one."
-- "RT Book Reviews (41/2 stars, Top Pick!)"
