Goodreads Synopsis:

OF MONSTERS AND MEN

Hounded by two transformed soldiers desperate for salvation and with Teacher reeling from revelations about his own forgotten former life, the past finally catches up to Teacher and Shiva. With danger closing in around them at terrifying speed, is there nowhere safe for them to live a normal life together…?

Review:

This feels like the first real fight in this series to this point. Separated, Teacher and Shiva have to face their own enemy and attempt to get out okay. It puts Shiva through a pretty dangerous, scary situation, when she's still getting over the previous traumas.
A surprise is thrown at us here. A surprise we've all been dreading, which pushes Teacher into some dark and dramatic acts. It pushes him to a new low, somewhere he's considering going only for Shiva.
It's unclear what they're going to do next. Teacher is struggling with what he thinks he needs to do and what options he actually has, given that there's no real way of knowing how this is going to turn out. There's no way of knowing what will work here.
This was a hard volume. It's harsh, more so than previous volumes have been. And it doesn't look like it'll be getting any easier any time soon.
