Broken Monsters by Lauren Beukes

4.0

I am surprised I picked up a horror book. I only did it though as it's by Lauren Beukes and I trust her I guess. It was scary and creepy, and at several times I had to put the book down for a while. But it is really well written, and Gabi and Layla are interesting people, and creepily the killer is also someone we follow, and the bad guys (even the really, really bad guys) seem to have glimpses of humanity. The major and minor plot lines weave in anxiety and funny, satirical moments and it was absorbing.
