I’ve received a copy of this book through a giveaway hosted by the author. This has not affected my rating in any way.
Amanda Foody and Christine Lynn Herman's All of Our Demise picks up right where All of Us Villains left off; in the wake of massive reveals- including a very much alive Hendry Lowe. What follows are alliances made and broken, a string of unsolved murders, and a plot to break the Blood Veil once and for all.
I'm very happy with how this story concluded; in fact, I'd go as far as to say I predicted the ending well before it happened. That's not a bad thing, by the way. I also like the pairings of the characters, and while some were unexpected, each relationship was portrayed so well that I'm not mad about any of them. The action was amazing as per usual and had me on the edge of my seat each time. I'm very sad about the fate of one specific character, though if it had to be one, of course it would be them.
My only complaint about this novel would be the pacing. Compared to the fast-paced first novel, All of Our Demise was much slower. I grew bored at times, and I ended up having to skim some parts, especially in the middle. And honestly, had I not skimmed, I thought I might not have finished this (that, or it would've taken me a year to complete and immediately put me into a reading slump). However, the beginning and end were of that same fast pacing we see in All of Us Villains.
Regardless, I still enjoyed this duology very much. I'm excited to read A Fate So Cold, the next dual-written novel by Foody and Herman. But for now, I give All of Our Demise 4 out of 5 stars.

Though not as good as the first book, I loved the way this book continued and finished the story.
