ELLIAS (elliasreads)'s Reviews > Little Monsters

Evil isn’t a spirit or a monster or a ghost. It lives inside regular people, and it doesn’t know the difference between night and day.

Somewhat slow, antagonizing, and gripping, Little Monsters was a very surprising read for me. This was my second read from Kara Thomas, and I believe it was the better of the two, comparing it to her other book, The Darkest Corners.

Nonetheless, this was still as slow, but I think in terms of story and characters, Little Monsters was much more enticing and thrilling. Kara has a great way of building character development and this pays off towards the end of the book.

Talking about the climax though, h o l y e f f i n s h i t.

It was emotionally surprising and full of tension. It was actually really fun picking up the on missing pieces along the way into the story; a small piece of a much sinister jigsaw puzzle.

But once completed, the whole picture isn't what you thought it was.

Little Monsters, in the end, became something more than I initially believed, and a whole lot of slow building fun: the fun you anticipate before the rush and fall of a roller coaster, and into a claustrophobic and dizzying mouth of utter roaring darkness.
