Here There Are Monsters by Amelinda Bérubé
4.0
This book was very good for a YA horror. Normally YA horror comes off very cheesy or isn’t scary since the author is to busy focusing on the YA part and not the horror part. This book lucky only mildly falls for that. This book has a lot to like but also some things to hate. Unfortunately I can not dive to deep into this book without spoiling it.
A good portion of this book is very spooky and makes you feel like you have stepped into a monster movie. The monsters are scary and the fear the main character feels is relatable even if she isn’t. Honestly the only thing that really bothered me was the useless romance.
I go on this tangent all the time but I wish authors would just learn to write in their chosen genre and stop adding in useless romances to appeal to more people. It is ridiculous and so very unrealistic! If your sister is missing/ stolen from forest monster you do not have time for a damn romance! I do not care who this romantic interest is they do not matter more than your dang sister! She knew him for a year! So many authors do this and it drives me crazy! For gods sake STOP DOING IT!
