Monstrilio

This review is specifically for the audiobook narrated by Victoria Villarreal and Johnny Rey Diaz.

Narration 4.5/5
Story: 3/5

The narration was pleasant and generally free of overacting or other minor annoyances that sometimes occur in audiobooks, the narrators did a great job and it was obviously a quality production. That being said, I sometimes struggled to remember which character was speaking and it didn't help that I generally didn't care much for 3 out of 4 characters.

My main problem with reviewing this book is that it really wasn't what I expected, I came in expecting horror about grief and what I found was more along the lines of domestic fiction with horror elements and a lot of kink/sex.

The first part of the book was gripping and strong but then it sort of just lost momentum for me until the very end and while I get that “action” wasn't the point of this book I also didn't get too much about the grief and maybe it was just lost on me because of all the stuff about sex.

Ultimately, my conclusion about this book is that it's a good book that just really wasn't for me.

Many thanks to HighBridge Audio and Netgalley for the ALC.
