Monstrous by Nicole M. Rubino

5.0

Omgggg what?!

First of all let me say that in middle school and some of high school I was OBSESSED AND FASCINATED with mythology and gods and goddesses. So reading this made my heart feel so happy! Just reliving the excitement I felt back then.

Let me talk about this story - I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE GIRL GANG! What a group of badass girls! Always have your back and make you feel safe and loved.

I will say this started off slow but quickly caught my attention and I needed to keep going to find out what was gonna happen next. The chemistry between Rhi & Nick - sweet heavens was it delicious, it was a slow burn but I was rewarded in the best way! I love their relationship and the love for each other had me tearing up at the end there.

This story follows Rhi as she discovers that she is a monster & is accepted to an elite university who also happens to be a school for just monsters like her. These monsters are descendants from mythological creatures. While there she meets her girl gang, who become her family & starts to fall for her best friend’s brother. Shortly after girls end up dead and the main suspect is the man who she’s falling for. Intent on proving his innocence she Nick & her girl gang set on a journey to find out who really is responsible for these deaths. And the secrets that she tries to hide start spilling out questioning friendships, relationships and has her questioning who can she really trust.

This had me by my throat and had to jump into book 2 IMMEDIATELY
