So Sophie along with her boyfriend and casual friend manages to trespass onto Monsters isolated land: crossing his boundary line and alerting him to there unwanted presence. I have a soft spot for anything beauty and the beast related: even loosely, and so far I have been mostly disappointed.įew of the stories I have indulged in have managed to live up to there namesake: with a few minor exceptions that is.īut 'To Love A Monster' was absolute magic capturing my imagination from the very first. This was a new author for me but as soon as the basic premise caught my attention here I was sold.

Words cannot describe how much I bloody devoured this book: I read this in just one sitting so engrossed was I in the story unfolding before my very eyes.
