Publisher's Summary

Dexter meets Victoria Schwab in this dark and compelling fantasy about a girl who is determined to take down the black market once and for all in the conclusion to the trilogy that started with the critically acclaimed Not Even Bones.

Nita finally has Fabricio, the boy who betrayed her to the black market, within her grasp. But when proof that Kovit’s a zannie - a monster who eats pain in order to survive - is leaked to the world, Nita must reevalute her plans.

With enemies closing in on all sides, the only way out is for Nita and Kovit to take on the most dangerous man in the world: Fabricio’s father. He protects the secrets of the monsters who run the black market. Stealing those secrets could be the one thing that stands between Nita and Kovit and certain death in the thrilling conclusion to the trilogy that began with the critically acclaimed Not Even Bones.

Critic Reviews

"Villains rise and shine in this final entry in the Market of Monsters trilogy.... Although the novel never crosses a line into sugarcoating their inexcusable choices, it does show sympathy for its devils as it sails into a grand finale full of twists and turns.... A dark, compelling ending to an uncomfortable, morally gray series." (Kirkus)

amazing ending

amazing ending to an aging trilogy!!!!
endings are hard. no one likes them but Rebecca did am amazing job at giving this story the end it deserves!

lot of loose ends.

I feel she rushed the ending of the story. Nitas mothers death was rather sudden and anti climatic compared to how methodical Nita was in the books prior to this one. Its still a good story over all and the series had a great build up.

AMAZING

Ajsjjdjd NO WORDS THIS BOOK IS AMAZING I LOVED THE WHOLE SERIES I WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE BOOK 3 AVAILABLE HERE ON AUDIBLE FOR PRE ORDER, LITERALLY FINISHED THIS IN A COUPLE DAYS🥲

Litterally cried

There were so many times where I had to literally stop the story and pace around when the climax hit. I litterally nearly had an anxiety attack! I’ve kept up with the series and the Webtoon so to say I’m not surprised would be a lie personally but it’s such an amazing series! I hate that this is the end but I loved it and I highly recommend giving it a listen and the voice performance was amazing as always!

Decent Ending

This is a hard series to read. It's graphic and dark, but this one does explain a lot of things and answer some questions we've had through the whole series. There is some decent character development in this one. Wouldn't recommend it for anyone under 16 or for squeamish readers.

I love it

Will there be another book to follow the story?
Or is this the last one?
I really enjoy this type of storyline I will love to see another one

Really good

I love this series and i’m sad that it’s ending but it was so good🥰💞💞 Definitely top 10 favorite books series

good storyline

I loved the storyline but the characters are consistently running their hands through their hair, biting lips. the writing you can tell is from a new author but the story line is amazing.

great end to series

great character development, compelling story, wish there was more, loved all the characters, thank you to the author.

great story! is this really the end?

nail biting from beginning to end. I hope this isn't end! I finished this book in less than a week.
