This was a very usually read for my typical tastes. I was on a sci-fi reading spree to see if it was for me or am I just going to give it up. No Gods, No Monsters was number three in my quest and the only one that I did not DNF. I'm glad that I pushed through but unfortunately this type of story just does not resonate with me.
The book opens when Laina's brother is shot and killed by police officers. A leaked video of the shooting goes viral and it becomes clear that monsters are real and living among the humans.
The characters story lines were difficult to follow and I was overwhelmed at times. The parts that I did understand were too parallel to real life. IN MY OPINION this could have done well with a less massive scope. I'm not saying that the book is bad, it's just not for me.
