I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

In this second installment of the convergence saga, we start off with action. Ridley, Laina and Rebecca are on the road when they encounter a wolf who can’t change back into its human form. It is believed that those who hunt "monsters” are now becoming monsters themselves. There is a secret society that is trying to keep the balance of things.

Overall I rate this 3.5 out of 5, lower than no gods no monsters because at times it was very disjointed. I found myself lost in the many things going on in this one. I feel like it had a lot of promise but from 25% to about 56% I was ready for the story to develop more. Can’t wait to see what will happen in book 3.

Thank you Hear Our Voices Tours, Blackstone Publishing and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book had me a bit puzzled at times - it's one of those that might sound better spoken than written - but man, I was all in for the monsters, the multiverse, and the group dynamics! Not to mention, it made me think. Maybe I should've read No Gods No Monsters first, but I'll definitely do a back-to-back reread someday. This book is layered like a delicious cake, and it gives off the vibes of a brewing storm. Plus, this book is so Boston! Set in places like Somerville, JP, Medford, Watertown, and downtown - it paints a vivid picture of the city's hidden side.

I enjoyed this book just as I did the first one. I really love a good plot. The twist and turns I am going to make sure I read more from this author. Great work!
