Dive into the thrilling continuation of the Vermin series with Ardin Patterson's riveting sequel that further explores the tangled lives of the Crispin's and their unexpected ward, Nicholas Slayden. Rose finds herself trapped in a whirlwind of doubt. Nicholas, now healthier, challenges everything that has led Rose to believe about vermin. Is he the perilous creature he's painted to be, or is there innocence trapped behind those haunting eyes? Meanwhile, Roland grapples with revelations that shake the very roots of his existence. Domesticating a vermin was challenging enough, but now vile rumours about his personal life threaten to dismantle his already damaged reputation. Dianna's constant presence hasn't helped matters either, especially when a warning from Vincent ties her to the Wolfe siblings, Micah and Zana. As the worlds of humans and vermin collide, both sides must confront harrowing truths they might not be ready to accept. Will they be willing to make sacrifices in order to coexist, or has too much blood been shed? This heart-pounding sequel not only deepens the intrigue and emotional complexity found in the first book but also challenges the boundaries of its world, and what it means to be a monster. Patterson captivates readers by crafting a narrative filled with suspense and dramatic twists, keeping them on the edge until they turn the last page.
