Many thanks to NetGalley and Scout Press Simon & Schuster for gifting me a digital copy of the latest thriller by one of my favorites, Jennifer McMahon. 5 creepy, twisty stars!
In 1978, Vi and Eric are living with their grandmother, Dr Hildreth, a renowned doctor who works with mentally ill patients at the institution on the hill above their house. Vi and Eric are very bright, homeschooled and have started The Monster Club, including a book detailing all they've learned. One day, Gran brings home Iris, a teenager, and tells Vi and Eric that she is their new sister. Iris is mute but soon warms up to the siblings. In 2019, Lizzy Shelley is a monster hunter and is convinced that her sister is behind a string of missing girls. She travels to Vermont to put an end to it.
Go into this one as blind as possible because the twists keep coming and will have you reeling! A take on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, this book explores the theme that there are monsters everywhere and inside us all. Told in alternating chapters between 1978 and 2019 as well excerpts from a news article, this is such a creepy, thriller that I literally could not put down. A definite must read - don't miss this one!
