About this listen

Thirty years ago, the world as we know it was lost.

Now humans live like rats, desperate for food and safety, the wall towering before us as a mocking reminder of what happened… A wall I find myself running to for refuge.

I've spent my whole life uncovering the truth, telling the world the reality behind the stories that they watch. I'm the one on their screens, the adrenaline junkie, the mayor's perfect daughter. Until one day, I pick up the wrong story. With no other choice, I run and hide in the one place I will be safe from those hunting me—the wall.

However, once over it, I don't find safety; I find chains. Captured by my enemy, a monster, and held at his whims, I have no choice but to use every weapon at my disposal to keep myself alive and prove my worth to him.

Samael, The Mad King: the monster that hates humans more than any other, the one who watches me like he cannot wait to kill me, but when fate intervenes, and we find ourselves turning to the other for answers, he has no choice but to keep me alive. After all, my enemy's enemy is my friend.

Lies have been told, truths have been revealed, but now it's time to end this once and for all.

It is time for the monsters to take their revenge.

It is time for our Monstrous Ends.

Monstrous Ends is the third book in the Forgotten City series. Each book can be enjoyed as a standalone and features different characters, but the series is best listened to in order.

Seemed a bit like a monster biker gang, without the motorcycles!

The heroine: Lyra - she was a journalist that wanted a big story and she stumbled upon the biggest of her career. Thirty years ago, humans waged war against monsters from another planet and were losing when they built a wall to keep all the monsters in the old city while humans were outside the wall and built a new society. Lyra finds out that the monsters were not from space but were created in Labs and mistreated until they fought for their own freedom.

The Hero: Samael (a.k.a. the mad king) - he is the leader of the feral group of monsters. When the monsters escaped, rebelled and waged war on the humans that created and then tortured them, they saw red, literally. They went into a fugue like state where all they wanted was to kill and all they felt was anger against all humans. This group remains hating all humans and they never really came out of their ‘red’ state. Some of their members were also kicked out of the two other groups (the warriors and the thinkers).

The Story: Lyra is chasing her big story and finds herself running for her life. The only place she can go is beyond the wall, where it is patrolled by a group of monsters that hate all humans. Samael’s throne is made from the skulls of his enemy and his gang lives in a prison. He fights every day for his position and they live with only two rules: 1. Samael leads and 2. They kill every human they find.

When there is an alert at the border, they go to the wall to kill any humans that come through. There is only one woman that comes through the wall and she tells them she wants sanctuary because the humans are trying to kill her for what she knows about the monsters. Samael and his group capture her and drag her to their lair.

I have to say, I didn’t really like Samael’s little kingdom. It was like the most brutal biker gang ever. He gets challenged to the death on the regular by members that want his throne. I don’t know how he can still have any members when he is challenged so often. He ends up holding the still beating hearts of his enemies every time. Which basically means he won’t live that long because someday someone younger, stronger and meaner will challenge him. It is a bit depressing. I also don’t really like how much the group is into exhibitionism.

This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Tor Thom and Kasi Hollowell. I like Kasi’s voice which is age appropriate for a young woman and very clear. She also does a good job on her male voice which is quite different than her female voice. Tor Thom is one of my favorites, especially for paranormal and alien romance. His voice is so deep it almost sounds otherworldly, and I really like it.
