Not every fight is won by heroes. Sometimes, you need a monster. The epic sequel to the unforgettable Only a Monster . . .

In every story there is a hero and a monster. 'Mind-bending, heart wrenching, and unputdownable!' STEPHANIE GARBER It should have been the perfect summer. Sent to stay with her eccentric family in London, Joan is determined to enjoy herself. She loves her job at the historic Holland House, and when her co-worker Nick asks her on a date, it feels like everything is falling into place. Then Joan learns the truth. Her family aren't just eccentric: they're monsters, with terrifying, hidden powers. And Nick isn't just a cute boy: he's a legendary monster slayer, who will do anything to bring them down.
