This book was so predictable, I saw all the thing coming. I was enjoyed the first part of this book, mostly the past chapters but then I just see myself not enjoying anymore...

This was such a unique monster-filled plot! I love switching back and forth between past and current times. And the twist at the end? I did not see coming! Overall really enjoyed this one

I really enjoyed this one. It's been a while since I thoroughly enjoyed a book. I usually hate split timeline plots, but in this the stories just worked. I loved the childhood innocence of chasing monsters. There are so many deep layers happening here. It really does make good use of the philosophy of Frankenstein. Who is really the monster? The twists as the story concludes had me OMG. Then O-M-G. And finally, I literally dropped the book. Recommended!
