Our Dark Duet
Our Dark Duet | V. E. Schwab
The 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.

Second installment from the Monsters of Verity
I really liked the idea of the monsters in these books and how they were created I just wanted more of and from them.

Still a decent read though. I do love a good Schwab book.

Loved listening to this audiobook every bit as much as I enjoyed reading the first book in this duology. Schwab is a master of her craft.

I was sadly disappointed in the second book. I was craving so much more between Kate and August and I got a whole lot of nothing. I was just not invested in this new plot and I felt the new characters added just flopped. Just very overly written, same old same old. 3/5

I finished this book literally three minutes before my class started, and I was trying very hard not to break down. This book was so beautifully written, and I bet someone could cry just because of how V.E Schwab uses her words. All I'm going to say now is that V.E Schwab truly is becoming one of my favourite authors.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

I don‘t know how to say everything I‘m feeling but I‘m trying. I loved this book and it‘s characters with my whole heart and rooted for them through the entirety of the story. I think that‘s the reason I care so much and went through so many emotions in the span of a few chapters, a few pages, a few words. The closest I can describe this emotion is pain. But a kind that, though it hurts, leaves you with a kind of love and understanding.
5⭐️

Lovelylottereader I don‘t know if that makes sense, but I hope it does. At least somewhat. 2y

Of course, there was no going back—time only moved forward—but people could change.
For worse.
And for better.
It wasn‘t easy. The world was complicated. Life was hard. And so often, living hurt.
So make it worth the pain.

Progress was being made, but August was coming to realize that there would always be cracks in the surface, shadows in the light, a hundred degrees of grays between black and white.

Some of my favourite books to read are duologies. They're perfect for when one book isn't enough but a trilogy is too much.

Featured here are the duologies I read this month.

PS 2022 Q1 is just about to end but I've already read more books this year than last year. 🙌 Gotta increase that reading goal.
