Beautiful Monsters was an absolutely incredible read, and I was hooked from the very beginning. This duet delivers a dark, emotionally intense story that blends vengeance, trauma, loyalty, and healing in a way that feels both brutal and deeply powerful.
Nora and Iris are not your typical heroines. They are complex, broken, and driven by a need for justice in a world that has failed them and so many others. Watching them take control of their own narrative was both heartbreaking and empowering. Their journey is messy, emotional, and morally grey, but that’s what made it feel so real.
Iris was, without a doubt, my favorite character. She had this unpredictable energy that made every scene she was in feel electric. She was fierce, chaotic, and emotionally layered; a perfect balance of strength and vulnerability. She brought both intensity and depth to the story, and I found myself completely invested in her from start to finish.
This duet explores dark themes while still focusing on character growth, loyalty, and the emotional consequences of trauma and revenge. The story kept me fully engaged, and the emotional weight behind the characters’ actions made every moment hit harder.
Anna Ioannidi created a gripping and emotionally charged story that stays with you long after you finish reading. The inclusion of both books and the bonus alternate ending made this collection feel complete and deeply satisfying.
If you enjoy dark romance with morally complex characters, emotional depth, and a story that isn’t afraid to explore the darker side of justice and healing, this duet is absolutely worth reading.
This was powerful, emotional, and impossible to forget. 🖤
If mystery and payback in a story get your heart pumping, this is a great book for you. I liked the anticipation of what was to come on the next page, in the next chapter or in the conclusions. This complete set is worth the time, but be ready to crave more.

This duet is incredible. Especially the first book with the girls who avenge other women against those monsters. Iris was my favorite character; she was like a mix between Barbie and Harley Quinn. If you like dark romance then I highly recommend this duet.
First, thank you for the alternate ending. I am definitely a HEA kinda girly. 😌 There was a lot to unpack about the serial killer aspects, and I am also questioning myself for liking it and rooting for them.
