Our Dark Duet

I'll be reading more from this author. I loved its fast pace, engaging characters swirled in darkness and light and the struggle to be who we want while maintaining our duty to the world and those around us.

At least that's what I got from it. August is the finest monster I've read about in a while. In this book, he's made more even more complex by his decisions, duties, and desires. Kate, at the beginning of the book isn't in Verity and she's struggling with her new bonds to others and ultimately, the reasons she has to escape them.

And after all that, Kate's dealing with a monster in her brain, which I frankly loved. It illustrated the struggles we all go through to not--well--strangle each other on a daily basis.

Unfortunately, this started off too slow and choppy, and I can't quite determine why. The first 100 pages or so felt a bit like a struggle, albeit an easy one, or this would've been a 5 star read for me. It suffered a little too because while the internal struggle was real, the first had more complex relationships between the good & evil, where here the enemy was quite clear.

Also though this book isn't romance, the main characters clearly deeply care about-and maybe even love one another-and that's clear. That makes this tale all the more bittersweet.
