Monsters Born and Made by Tanvi Berwah

4.0

I have received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Monster Born and Made was so freaking good. Maybe it's because I just watched all of Stranger Things this week or maybe, just maybe, this was just really hard to put down. Either way, I'm so happy that I got the chance to jump into this and I'm secretly hoping we get another book.

In this, you will meet Koral. She is a monster hunter and has a huge mission: to save her family. The creatures throughout this kept me intrigued. Seriously, after meeting the first one I was completely hooked. It was also pretty interesting to see Koral travel and grow throughout this world as well. The Lander and the Renters could easily annoy and frustrate me. Yet, Koral seemed to handle them with more grace than I could muster into one of my pinky fingers.

Not even going to lie here. I would have punched one of the Landers pretty early on. My adventure would have been nonexistent after that. Besides the drama, we do get some sparks for a romantic interest. It's not the main focus, though, but I would have liked to see more of it. Just saying.

In the end, I wasn't prepared for that ending. Again, I'm secretly hoping and wishing that we get another book. I might cry if we don't because it just can't end like that. It feels like there's more room to grow and potential for a great sequel.
