About this listen
Joan Chang-Hunt has no idea she's part monster until she's thrust into a battle between the boy she has a crush on and one of the most ruthless monster families of London. A brilliantly compelling YA fantasy from a dazzling new Australian talent.
Don't forget the rule. No one can know what you are. What we are. You must never tell anyone about monsters.
Only a monster would kill a hero. Right?
Every family has its secrets, but the summer Joan Chang-Hunt goes to stay with her gran in London, she learns hers is bigger than most. The Hunts are one of 12 families in London with terrifying, hidden powers.
Joan is half-monster. And what's more, her summer crush, Nick, isn't just a cute boy - he's hiding a secret as well; a secret that places Joan in terrible danger.
When the monsters of London are attacked, Joan is forced on the run with the ruthless Aaron Oliver, heir to a monster family who are sworn enemies of her own. Joan is drawn deeper into a world that simmers with hostilities, alliances and secrets. And her rare and dangerous power means she's being hunted. She'll have to embrace her own monstrousness if she is to save herself and her family. Because in this story...she is not the hero.

Amazing!
I love this book! It is so refreshing and original and I am dying for the next book in the series! It simultaneously left me with so many questions and completely satisfied. The characters have my whole heart! Too good! Could have been elevated even more with a better narrator...
