Book 2 in the Monstrous series is another treat, though I'll start by saying I liked Book 1 better.

The reason is Hunter. Whom Edin finds and rescues from a pit that he's fallen into. Hunter is on a mission to rescue Charlie, his best friend, who'd been taken by enemies, and Edin does everything in his power to help Hunter despite not knowing him from Adam. (That's how GOOD Edin is).

Overall, I enjoyed the continued world building, and am looking forward to learning more about the lives of The Raiders.
