Only a Monster

I really like the UK cover because its dark like story and you can see a medaillon playing a important role in the book. You read the whole story from Joans Point of view. She is a great protagonist because shes brave and quickly managed to cope with her new situation. I admire her for boldness to ask question even when she fears the answer or nobody wants to answer. She loves her family fiercely for whom she would do anything despite her moral compass. I have a weakness for morally grey characters like Joan becomes. The secondary characters are all very interesting because nobody is perfect. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses and in this story monsters arent always the bad guys while the hero maybe isnt the hero. I love to follow characters being not the typical heroes. I was very intrigued from the start because the story starts very fast and there was no boring moments. Joan learns about her familys secrets at the beginning and the readers are thrown into the world of monsters which is very interesting and exceptional. Im a big fan of time travels become a big part of the story. Many other unexpected events also happen, so it is always exciting and I couldnt stop to read the book. I dont want to tell more about the story because it would take the tension. Vanessa Len has a very fascinating writing style. Therefore the story is easy and quick to read. My native language isnt English but I understand everything. The ending is satisfied for the moment but there are open questions for the following parts. So I am very excited for them because I really love the characters and want to spend more time with them. I believe there still is a lot more potential for character developments and a love story. CONCLUSION: 4,5/5 STARS A fast-pacing story with morally grey characters
