My rating: 3 of 5 stars
When I was given the opportunity to receive the reading copy of this novel from the publisher and without reading the synopsis, I was really intrigued by the title and the word monster was the first thing that came to my mind. And while halfway perusing, I remember watching the movie The Orphan and thought that Hannah from this novel is just like the character in the said film. They have the same nature on how their love for their dads is severe; although Alex is Hannah's biological dad, I believe that Hannah's admiration is a bit creepy and sexual.
This will make readers think of how an innocent looking girl like Hannah could just turn sinister and dark when she was alone with her mom, Suzette, and her attitude is quite the contrary towards her dad. I even thought that maybe she's possessed by an evil spirit, a clone or something like that; I reckon that others also speculate of possible reasons on Hannah's condition while reading.
Some would find this novel entirely disturbing due to Hannah's murderous plans to get rid of her mom; this is not recommended for those who are not okay or prepare in reading this kind of stories. Skip this if you are a faint-hearted person, but delve into the riddle and puzzle of the story if you are into mystery and thrilling genre.
