Monster Inside by River Starr, River Starr
3.0
2.5, round up
Soooo, this was readable and had an interesting idea but honestly wasn't very well executed. The beginning is hella repetitive. Like the author couldn't figure out how to show us things so they just kept telling us. The heroine ran around and did things. However, it never felt anything but random, because the author didn't really take the time to anchor the plot. The entirety of the relationship building was skipped in a full year jump in time. (And come on, learning to live with a demon INSIDE YOU should have been pivotal to the story!) So, I held absolutely no investment in it. There wasn't any world-building to speak of. So, I didn't really know what the limits of possibilities were, etc. All in all, I was initially interested but not impressed enough to bother continuing the series.
