I take back everything i said about Villains — this second book was so required! So much story to tell, so many relationships (between and within) to work through, and so much intensity that couldn’t fit within one.

I loved Demise and all its horrors from start to finish. 

The ending maybe concluded a bit quickly but that’s a selfish comment from someone who didn’t want the story to end! 

Though this monster story had never been destined for a happily ever after, he had achieved something close to it. 
“… and no tail was ever heard of him again.”

A perfect ending for Alistair Lowe. 🫶

This is the kind of book I love to read. Morally gray characters are so much fun, it just seemed to wrap up too quickly for me. It all happened in a way that made sense and was enjoyable though.
