This is an adorable story about monsters hiding under the bed. The illustrated characters look real and I like the details on what the monster looks like. It’s scary but not scary for a book. The monster actually looks nice. And there are dust bunnies under the bed like you would find in a kids room who didn’t clean very much. I also love the sign hanging on the girl’s wall! I didn’t know the book was based on a Hindu teaching take by the same name. It’s an interesting adaptation!

Oh my goodness, I can not even explain how much I loved this book…..Why have I not read anything by this author before, this is a question I can’t answer but something I can definitely change. It all started with the amazingly awesome cover and only got better right from the first paragraph.
What a ride this story was, I loved how the flashbacks to 10 years ago were so perfectly placed and not overdone in any way. Each one served a purpose and was done in the most brilliant way. I loved Gemma, she is now one of my favorite female leads, Even with everything around her crumbling she wasn’t weak and pitiful, it all made her stronger and the minute she decided to take back control I was like holy moly I love this woman!! I don’t know how to explain it but nothing in this story went the way I expected it to, and this is the best thing ever. You start thinking and talking to your characters while your reading telling them to do something, knowing they wont and everything will be made worse because of it, but not this one…Gemma did things before I even had a chance to yell at my kindle telling her to do it.
I’m not going to go into any detail about this book. You have to read it, it is beyond amazing and this author is Brilliant and her talent for telling a story is unmatched. I was emotionally invested in every aspect of this book. There aren’t enough words for me to describe how I loved reading every word…
Many many thanks to Melissa Jane for giving me a couple hours of reading something completely different than my norm and also giving me another favorite author to add to my list!!
