Number one New York Times best seller
An Amazon Best Book of the Year
There's no such thing as safe in a city at war, a city overrun with monsters. In this dark urban fantasy from acclaimed author Victoria Schwab, a young woman and a young man must choose whether to become heroes or villains - and friends or enemies - with the future of their home at stake. The first of two books, This Savage Song is a must-have for fans of Holly Black, Maggie Stiefvater, and Laini Taylor.
Kate Harker and August Flynn are the heirs to a divided city - a city where the violence has begun to breed actual monsters. All Kate wants is to be as ruthless as her father, who lets the monsters roam free and makes the humans pay for his protection. All August wants is to be human, as good-hearted as his own father, to play a bigger role in protecting the innocent - but he's one of the monsters. One who can steal a soul with a simple strain of music.
When the chance arises to keep an eye on Kate, who's just been kicked out of her sixth boarding school and returned home, August jumps at it. But Kate discovers August's secret, and after a failed assassination attempt the pair must flee for their lives.
In This Savage Song, Victoria Schwab creates a gritty, seething metropolis, one worthy of being compared to Gotham and to the four versions of London in her critically acclaimed fantasy for adults, A Darker Shade of Magic. Her heroes will face monsters intent on destroying them from every side - including the monsters within.

Kate Harker has finally come home after getting kicked out of her fifth boarding school; the daughter of the Boss, she just wants to prove herself to her father and be a family again. August Flynn goes undercover at the same school as Kate, to keep an eye on her and get information. August is not a true son, because he is a Sounai, a monster who feeds on souls of the wicked, but he just wants to be human.
So this sounds like a Romeo and Juliet set up doesn’t it? But there is no romance, and Kate and August are enemies., at least at first. It's a series starter that I like very much. I’m curious to see how this plot plays out. The ending is satisfactory but the epilogue sets up the next book nicely.
Dual POV voices work well

I am a sucker for romances, but I know a lot of people wish there were more books without love stories. If you are one of those people then this book is for you! Kate and August develop a friendship so strong they can overcome anything, but there isn't anything more than that. They have a bond for sure. But, at least in this book, it is completely platonic. (I have no idea what the sequel holds!) I absolutely loved both Kate and August and together they could rule the wold.
The world building in This Savage Song was fairly subtle. You are given pieces of information as the story goes along, there are no info dumps full of descriptions, which I appreciated. It keeps you wondering and wanting to know more. It eventually answers all your questions, and the suspense is worth the wait. It adds to the story and never bores you with loooong descriptors. I thought it was done really well.
This Savage Song is action packed and exciting but it also deals with some pretty tough topics. What makes you good or evil? Are you born that way or made that way? It also deals with family; chosen, adopted, and blood. If you family is evil are you too? What do you do if your family members cross the line between good and evil. This Savage Song doesn't preach good vs evil. It embraces all the messiness of the gray areas of life.
“You wanted to feel alive, right? It doesn't matter if you're monster or human. Living hurts.”
― Victoria Schwab, This Savage Song
The narrator was great! She was able to do lots of different voices and they didn't sound forced or faked. They added to the story and personality of each character. Her voice sounds super familiar, I think I have listened to stuff by her before?
Overall I loved this book! I listened to it in 3 days, and I am going to start the sequel immediately!
Victoria Schwab is a genius!
