*Kirkus Reviews*
Cole, 17, is an interesting main character caught in a web of
deception and surrounded by threatening people and circumstances.
One of the main themes of the book is Cole’s mental health and his
need to deal with sometimes crippling anxiety. There are times he
can talk himself down, times he needs medication and times that the
support from his friends help him cope. Robertson speaks from
personal experience, and so his portrayal of Cole is filled with
realism as well as understanding and empathy.Highly
Recommended.
*CM Association*
without spoiling the ending, readers need to be prepared for David
A. Robertson's plot twist...Monsters closes out with a shock and a
gasp that will have readers waiting for Book Three in the series,
Ghosts, to learn how Cole, the Reckoner, is able to make peace for
himself and Wounded Sky. Spring 2019 can't come soon enough.
