Monstrous by Jessica Lewis

5.0

Living at her Aunt's in Alabama for the summer before she can start college, the main character of this tense novel uncovers a dark secret that leaves her in grave danger, tied to an altar. The book is full of suspense, mystery, and intrigue that makes it hard to put down. I fell in love, especially with the romantic aspect of the book and watching the main character deal with cults, snakes, and her new love interest. This book is one of the best slow burn romances I've read. The balance of serious and lighthearted wonder offset perfectly without tipping too far in either direction. This book is an absolute joy and terror to read. Don't get this book if you have a phobia of snakes! I'm really hoping there are more books in this story because I can't get enough of this world.
