Only a Monster

By: Vanessa Len

Narrated by: Vera Chok

The sweeping romance of Passenger meets the dark fantasy edge of This Savage Song in this stunning contemporary fantasy debut from Vanessa Len, where the line between monster and hero is razor thin.

Don’t forget the rule. No one can know what you are. What we are. You must never tell anyone about monsters.

Joan has just learned the truth: her family are monsters, with terrifying, hidden powers.

And the cute boy at work isn’t just a boy: he’s a legendary monster slayer, who will do anything to destroy her family.

To save herself and her family, Joan will have to do what she fears most: embrace her own monstrousness. Because in this story…she is not the hero.

Dive deep into the world of Only a Monster: hidden worlds dwell in the shadows, beautiful monsters with untold powers walk among humans, and secrets are the most powerful weapon of all.

Simply enjoyable story

Overall an enjoyable story. This odd but effective combination of monsters and time travel was pleasantly a good one. Also the hero and monster subplot also a twist to normal stories. I think it worked well.

The reader was good and didn't distract from story.

Glad I bought.

Amazing Narrator

Loved the story, very interesting, I was hooked from the beginning. Looking forward to the next book in this series.

Unexpected Ending

I couldn’t put the book down. It had such a unique plot and kept the reader guessing until the end. It wasn’t the best ending but it didn’t make me mad, just slightly disappointed.

Refreshing new story with a lot of content

So I found the sequel at a HPB and was like ok this looks cool and started Only a Monster. The whole concept between all of the different families with different powers on top of time travel and it being from a group and individual that wouldn’t actually be the good people in most stories was fun. The tension and development was great with good twists and turns. Highly recommend

Creative and unusual story! loved it!

the author kept me up late! I could barely put this book down. The characters came alive and the world building was amazing. I highly recommend it.
