Only a Monster by Vanessa Len
5.0
When I started reading this book, I never expected it to be so fascinating. The premise sounded fairly standard for books in the same genre, but I love books about London so I got it from Libby. OH. MY. GOD. this book is so good! I paused reading at the beginning to read about Holland House and was so confused to find no information on a museum that was described so vividly and sounded so real. I didn't realize until the end why I couldn't find any information on it! The true timeline is such an interesting concept without feeling overdone and I really enjoyed the details of it.
The world of monsters feels really original, and the different gifts of the families makes me really curious to know what families outside London are like. I'm also salty that Aaron and Joan weren't allowed to see each other again because they clearly had a bond and I'm sad they couldn't stay together in the timeline.
