The Monsters We Defy
Title: The Monsters We Defy Author: Leslye Penelope Publisher: Redhook Rating: 5 Stars I received a free ebook download from Net Galley. Premise: In 1920s Washington, D.C., poor Black people are going missing, and a group of (mostly) 20-something adults with connections to the paranormal investigate. Things I Loved: 1. Everything. This is an amazing story. The characters are complicated, the research was well-done, everything is so well-described and fleshed out and immersive. Seriously. It's so good. Things I Did Not Love: ... I mean, the format of my ebook was a little odd? It said it clocked in at almost 800 pages, but every "page" I turned counted for three pages, so there's something weird going on there. But really that's it. It's such a fantastic book that I'd have to get nitpicky to find something. Who It's Good For: Fans of Libba Bray's The Diviners series, historical fiction enthusiasts, paranormal fiction lovers, anyone look
