Only a Monster is the start of the YA fantasy trilogy.
The start of the book is pretty interesting and engages the reader. The whole magic system was also pretty unique and it was enjoyable to learn more about it.
On the other hand, the romance was weird. It was all off page, in a past that not even the characters remembered, and it was supported only by the star crossed lovers theme. And yet, our main character had more chemistry and development with Aaron than with Nick, with whom she met, on page, for like three times.
