Books On Our Radar: This Savage Song
by Victoria Schwab
There’s just something about the This Savage Song cover and the blurb that has me really, really intrigued! One thing that I love is that the title and the cover art has me completely perplexed after I have read the blurb (see below) which in this case makes me even more interested in this title, coming June 7th! I love a good fantasy and with a line like “…adventure that looks at the monsters we face every day—including the monster within” hooked me immediately. Be sure to add this new fantasy series to your TBR!

The city of Verity has been overrun with monsters, born from the worst of human evil. In North Verity, the Corsai and the Malchai run free. Under the rule of Callum Harker, the monsters kill any human who has not paid for protection. In the South, Henry Flynn hunts the monsters who cross the border into his territory, aided by the most dangerous and darkest monsters of them all—the Sunai, dark creatures who use music to steal their victim’s souls.
As one of only three Sunai in existence, August Flynn has always wanted to play a bigger role in the war between the north and the south. When the chance arises to keep an eye on Kate Harker, daughter of the leader of North Verity, August jumps on it.
When Kate discovers August’s secret, the pair find themselves running for their lives and battling monsters from both sides of the wall. As the city dissolves into chaos, it’s up to them to foster a peace between monsters and humans.
A unique, fast-paced adventure that looks at the monsters we face every day—including the monster within.
