This book is a re-read, I first read it a few years ago in 9th grade and it stuck with me ever since, and, even though I usually never re-read books, it happened with Little Monsters.
This is an awesome YA thriller with an incredible plot twist. Once you’ve picked it up, you can’t put it down. You constantly want to know more. The last 50 pages are incredibly intense.
Kara Thomas definitely knows how to create tension and suspense.

This was really enjoyable! I did see one thing coming, but not a few other things. The ending does get dark. I also really enjoyed the family relationships.
