Never a Monster by Vanessa Len
Thank you to Netgalley and Hodder & Stoughton for the advance reader copy of Never a Hero to read for an honest review.
Never a Hero follows the aftermath of Only a Monster Jane has reset the timeline saving her family and destroying the hero, Nick.
However in the new world she alone remembers what happened and that there is an enemy out there. Her friend Aaron has forgotten all that happened and is now an enemy. Nick the boy she loved is a stranger who doesn't remember her.
After a deadly attack forces Joan back into the world of monsters she and Nick are on the run as fugitives with Aaron chasing after them.
On the way Nick is getting dangerously close to discovering the truth of what happened to him. Joan must gather her old allies to face the enemy and save the timeline before it is too late.
Like Only a Monster I really enjoyed this book and couldn't put it down.
I just love the characters and the world building fascinating with the monster world running parallel to the human world.
In this book we learn more about the enemy and what their plan was before Joan undid the hero.
While I loved the dynamic of Joan and Nick being on the run while being hunted down by the monsters I did miss the presence of Aaron this time initially at the start. Hoping he gets more time in the 3rd book!
Overall I thought the story was well crafted and that the book was such good fun a YA fantasy you could just sit down and read in one sitting. Already looking forward to the third installment!
