This book was seriously fucked up in the best way possible. Monster wasted no time getting started and maintained a breakneck speed the entire story. I was initially curious about reading it with the present day context of gun violence in mind, but that didn’t pan out beyond the first chapter. I liked the journey of Angela’s character from beginning to end, and I appreciated Pike’s unflinching approach to raising the stakes throughout. The plot itself wasn’t particularly twisted, but it kept me guessing as to what was going to happen next. The end result was a quick but intense read that amassed a surprisingly high body count. It definitely left me excited to read some more of Pike’s work.

Score: 5 Stars
