No Beauties or Monsters by Tara Goedjen
4.0
This whole book felt like an episode of The X-Files. I went into this knowing it would be strange and it definitely was. This book was fast paced and it kept me on my toes with the sci-fi elements. The writing was so atmospheric and creepy, Tara Goedjen did a really great job with this one. I can definitely see it being a movie or tv series.
Rylie is returning to her hometown for the first time since her dad died. She is returning to memories and old friends and secrets left behind by her grandfather’s death. Her mom’s new work assignment means they have to move back and now Rylie has to face everything she left behind. Her friends are happy to see her, all except for Lily who is missing. Her old town seems stranger than she remembers. There are whispers of a serial killer on the loose but that’s not the only thing creeping out Rylie. Can she uncover the truth or are these monsters all in her head?
