Hidden Monster Monsters Among Us Amanda Strong Books

This story started out great with the sudden abduction of Samantha and the weeks she spent in the secluded cabin. It sounded horrifying and disturbing. I was enraptured and thought this would become an excellent story, but I feel that the author dropped the ball once Samantha found her way out of captivity. Some of the following observations are slight spoilers.

1. Samantha's behavior after her captivity was unrealistic. The author describes her as being depressed, wearing unflattering clothing, and trying to look as unattractive as possible for a month or so after she was released, but after she meets a mysterious new boy, that part of her appears to have faded into the background at an unrealistically rapid rate.

2. The romantic aspect is "teenage hormone driven sappy love story." Girl meets guy. Girl is instantly infatuated with handsome guy although she appears to find him irritating, but, ohhhhh, something about him makes fire explode in her nether regions. Within a week they are completely in love and inseparable at the ripe and mature age of 18 and want to get married.

3. Way too much is going on. I feel as if the author was randomly throwing events into the story to make it more interesting, but in reality it made it seem choppy, confusing, and downright unfeasible. First they are here, then they are there, and now they're doing this. Way, way too much going on.

4. The protagonist is a SPURRRCIAL snowflake. By no actions of her own, she goes from average to extraordinary with her own set of special abilities. Everyone wishes for her attention. All the boys are after her. She's practically a snowball.

5. 18 years old is apparently mature enough to be selected to lead an entire nation.

6. Samantha never does anything for herself. Someone always shows up in the nick of time to help her out of whatever situation she found herself thrown into.

I was sorely disappointed with this novel. I really thought it was going to be a a great read, but it fell apart after the first few chapters.

Hidden Monster Monsters Among Us Amanda Strong Books Reviews

I believe all books have potential - some just aren't for me. This is one. Amanda started off strong with Samantha's abduction and I wanted to know more. But the story kinda flip flopped. One moment it was serious thriller level and the next ...well it was about dragonflies. Somewhere along the story other random things kept happening. I thought it was creative to go with the ending twist but I just didn't think it fit into this story. The flow was just so off for me. Perhaps if this book had been split into two and situations were more explored - it would somehow work better together.
Buckle-up before you turn the page, or swipe your screen. Don't let the pretty cover fool you. Samantha seems to be a target for the unfortunate. A safe morning run turns to a nightmare when she wakes up tied down, and her captor is only around long enough to instill fear. All she knows is what's coming ... the sting. After weeks of mental torture, she wakes up untied and disoriented. Running to save herself, a search party finds her. Now the real haunting begins ... "Who is the monster?"
Trying to find herself again she starts to dream and then strange things begin to happen. Her dreams seem real. Just down the road a new family had moved in. But only one of them has caught Sam's eye, Blake. He touches her inner quarrel and soothes the storm within. Blake seems perfect; too perfect, and she knows that her feelings are getting stronger towards him. But can she trust him? And around every corner the question still follows, "Who is the monster?"
Going back to school has her on edge. It could be anyone. Getting reacquainted with her old friends; Jeremy, her jerk-of-a-jock ex-boyfriend, Jen, her center stage love-crazed friend, and Mack, her touchstone BFF. Sammy and Mack's friendship goes way back to elementary, just after her near drowning, he helped her deal with her fears and remained her friend.
Trust doesn't come easy, but Samantha is willing to place faith in her friends until tensions rise between her ex and Blake. Mack and Blake all of a sudden seem buddy-buddy. Jen is talking about someone from their past she is still head-over heels for. The dreams are now a part of her and terror begins to rip at her resolve. Pieces start to fall into to place, even if she has to smash a few of them to fit. Change isn't always a good thing. As answers become clear, there is only one that keeps alluding her. "Who is her Monster?"
Very well written. I tumbled down the rabbit hole with her. What a who-done-it ride. You did buckle-up, right?
