The Monster
by L.J. Shen
Monster, Monster, Monster
Let me start by saying I love L. J. Shen’s books! I was hooked on The Hunter and The Villian so of course I was excited to read The Monster. However I felt this book was lacking. I wasn’t very interested until about 80%. This one definitely took me longer to get through as I got sick of how awful Sam was to her and how waif like Aisling was and how she just kept sleeping with Sam.
I really thought about half way through Aisling would stand up for herself, maybe try to date someone else and help Sam realize how he felt then. Instead she just kept going back to her old ways. I get tired of reading these men who always treat when like crap and then suddenly change their mind. It’d be nice to have that reversed for a change where there is a strong female.
Lastly, I know the title of the book was The Monster but good grief...how many times did it have to be written into it?? I would have understood the title from just the 1st chapter. I didn’t have to read Monster 100x’s to get the picture.
I’m hoping book 4 is better and finishes the series on a strong note. We’ve read how strong minded and mysterious Belle is...please don’t let it be a complete flip of character!
