No Beauties or Monsters by Tara Goedjen
4.0
First of all, I wanted to appreciate how gorgeous this cover is!!
This book is a good combination of mystery and sci-fi. It has an interesting concept, great world building and a plot that will keep you guessing right from the start until the end.
The mystery of the missing people in town and unreliable characters especially the narrator whose also the main character of the story, Rylie makes me feel so confused in the first half of the story.
There will be a lot of questions as the story goes so you'll have to be very patient when you read this one.
Just like Rylie, I'm having difficulties trying to differentiate what's real and what's not in this story. I gave up trying to guess what really happen with those missing people. Eventually, I just enjoy the ride with this book until I find the answers near the ending.
The ending is good and I'm quite satisfied with it because it provided answers from the questions I have since the beginning rather than more questions.
Although, I do hope there's more to it (maybe a sequel ?!).
Overall, I have a good time reading this one and it was enjoyable for me. For those of you who enjoy reading science-fiction and mystery thriller then you might enjoy reading this book!
I'm looking forward to other books from this author!
Actual rating: 3.5⭐

I wanted to know more about Ethan, he rarely shows up in the story but he's actually the one who help them cross the line at the end. While I might think he did bad things, but I can't help but feel that somewhere he's safe and alive.Overall, I have a good time reading this one and it was enjoyable for me.
