Monster in the Closet by Karen Rose
tense
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
1.5
I didn’t enjoy this book. I have never read a Karen Rose book and I believe this is book 5 of a series but you can read it without having to have read the previous books in the series.
I found the characters unlikeable and the story rather dull and unbelievable (yes it is fiction but some sort of believable story is better). The baddie is an egotistical criminal who is vile. The main female character has her own background story also going on (tracking down her biological dad) and the two differing stories side by side didn’t work for me. I don’t like giving up on a book and this book was given to me as a gift so felt it deserved to be read. Saying that I will not be rushing to read another Karen Rose book any time soon.
