Are you ready for a thrilling ride? Brace yourself for “Only A Monster,” a mesmerizing debut novel by Australian author Vanessa Len. This paranormal masterpiece, published by Harper Teen, will take you on a dark and funny journey that transcends time and defies expectations.

A Unique Blend of Humor and Darkness

From the first page, “Only A Monster” captivates with its unique blend of humor and darkness. The plot unfolds in a world where monsters exist, not the ordinary strange creature monsters, but real people monsters who do terrible things. Brace yourself for heart-stopping monster slayers, time travel, star-crossed love, and a rich historical backdrop. And yes, monsters—lots of them!

Joan, our protagonist, spends her summers in London with her peculiar family, blissfully unaware of their true nature. During her time volunteering at the historic Holland House, Joan stumbles upon a secret that changes everything. She discovers her family’s incredible ability to steal time from others and harness it for time travel. Shocked and bewildered, Joan realizes that she, too, is a monster. In a twist of fate, Nick, a legendary monster slayer, enters the scene, determined to wipe out monsters once and for all.

Unconventional Heroes and Epic Romance

This book breaks the mold with its unconventional heroes and unexpected romance. Joan rebels against the monstrous nature of her family, morphing into an unlikely hero. Together with Aaron, the son of one of the legendary monster house leaders, she embarks on a quest to save her family. While I thought their partnership might turn into a love story, the book surprises by reserving the romance for a historic, destined connection between Nick and Joan. Their love story is nothing short of epic, adding a layer of complexity to an already riveting plot.

The Perfect Addition to Your Paranormal Collection

I can confidently say that this book will become an instant favorite among readers who enjoy the works of Cassandra Clare and Alexandra Bracken. Its deliciously dark tone, thrilling twists, and memorable characters make it a must-read.

This book strikes the perfect balance between nostalgia and freshness, delivering a story that is both fun and serious. And let’s not forget the incredible moments and connections that make this book shine.
