kiiiaarraa_ 's review for:
The Monster
by L.J. Shen
....uhm...woww... I always thought I'd enjoy tf out of everything L j shen puts in front of me.... Spoiler alert : I was wrong.
I was literally on the edge of my chair waiting to read this book after The Villain. I think everyone can agree we all thought we'd get an obsessed Sam in this book after how much it was emphasised that Aisling was in love with him and he completely ignored her existence. Frankly I assumed maybe he was secretly in love with her or something along those lies.... Unfortunately that was not the case....
I was so close to just DNF'ing this book (and I DON'T EVER DO THAT) because of the way Aisling was running after Sam. I won't lie, I get being obsessed with a person. I get wanting the attention of someone you loved from afar without them noticing you but I honestly wanted to jump into the book and slap Aisling... To be rejected so many times and still run after him..and I get that sometimes yeah book characters will work for someone they want but Sam wasn't even remotely sweet about the rejections. Some of the things he said to her...omg. Calling her pathetic and an easy fuck.. Yeah I'm sorry but no. One of the reasons I read is to remember that not all guys are messed up like that and this portray of Sam's character just wasn't it for me and I realllllly wanted it to be because I was so intrigued by him in The Villain.
I'll definitely read more of L J Shen's books because I absolutely LOVED her previous works but this book was just not it
