A review by cseibs
Broken Monsters by Lauren Beukes

3.0

To be super cliched about it, this was a page turner. I got sucked into the story and raced to find out how it ends. That said, I'm not as impressed with this novel as I was with The Shining Girls. I get that we're dealing with the fantastical, but I think Beukes took it too far. Her messaging about social media ills was too heavy handed at times and the clunkiness of the supernatural elements arose from their service to this dead horse theme. I did, however, absolutely adore TK's "higher power." More of that, please.
