Our Violent Ends by Chloe Gong
3.0

Audiobook 🎧

After the first book, I don’t know what I was expecting this plot to be - but this wasn’t it. Only reason I didn’t DNF was that I was using the audiobook - had I been reading the physical book it would’ve lost me a few chapters in just like the first. It did pick up and had me hooked during the middle and the build up to the end, but the ending was a let down. 

The twists, sure didn’t see those coming! 😲
The mains and the ‘hate to love you’ vibes, live for it! 😆

**Spoilers below!



Was honestly sticking it out for the tension and confessions between the mains and their friends. Just wish there would’ve been more about them together - rather than going from: I hate you > I’ve always loved you > marry me?  > my life for yours > both presumed dead (which I get it, Romeo and Juliet retelling and all but - come on!). And then after two books of mystery and concern around these monsters, it builds up to this big scene just to fizzle out in a mediocre wrap up.

Had been hoping for more and was instead left with a: Wait, that was it? It’s just over? (And not in a good way)
