A review by kourtneyalexis
Monstrous Souls by Rebecca Kelly
3.0
I'm going to remain neutral and go with the unpopular opinion of 3 stars....
I feel like the elements for an amazing thriller are there, but I felt like I've read this story before and that I could predict what was going to happen, so I can understand where the rave reviews are coming from.
Heidi is 13 years old, found attacked and burned, her best friend is found dead next to her, and her 7 year old sister is missing. The story line flashes forward and backward between the time of the attack and 15 years afterward. I feel as though the unraveling of the story would have been more interesting if things slowly started to come back over the course of the 15 years. It's too convenient that she tries to remember and it all comes together because she must have done something different this time than she did over the course trying to remember any other time.
A special thank you to NetGalley, Agora Books, and Rebecca Kelly for providing me with an ARC.
