In We Are the Crisis--the second book in the Convergence Saga from award-winning author Cadwell Turnbull--humans and monsters come into conflict in a magical and dangerous world as civil rights collide with preternatural forces. In this highly anticipated sequel, set a few years after No Gods, No Monsters, humanity continues to grapple with the revelation that supernatural beings exist. A werewolf pack investigates the strange disappearances of former members and ends up unraveling a greater conspiracy, while back on St. Thomas, a hurricane approaches and a political debate over monster's rights ignites tensions in the local community. Meanwhile, New Era--a pro-monster activist group--works to build a network between monsters and humans, but their mission is threatened by hate crimes perpetrated by a human-supremacist group known as the Black Hand. And beneath it all two ancient orders escalate their conflict, revealing dangerous secrets about the gods and the very origins of magic in the universe. Told backward and forward in time as events escalate and unravel, We Are the Crisis is a brilliant contemporary fantasy that takes readers on an immersive and thrilling journey.

This book had me a bit puzzled at times - it's one of those that might sound better spoken than written - but man, I was all in for the monsters, the multiverse, and the group dynamics! Not to mention, it made me think. Maybe I should've read No Gods No Monsters first, but I'll definitely do a back-to-back reread someday. This book is layered like a delicious cake, and it gives off the vibes of a brewing storm. Plus, this book is so Boston! Set in places like Somerville, JP, Medford, Watertown, and downtown - it paints a vivid picture of the city's hidden side.
