Week 13 Review: Delicious Monsters

From Goodreads:

The Haunting of Hill House meets Sadie in this evocative and mind-bending psychological thriller following two teen girls navigating the treacherous past of a mysterious mansion ten years apart.

Daisy sees dead people—something impossible to forget in bustling, ghost-packed Toronto. She usually manages to deal with her unwanted ability, but she's completely unprepared to be dumped by her boyfriend. So when her mother inherits a secluded mansion in northern Ontario where she spent her childhood summers, Daisy jumps at the chance to escape. But the house is nothing like Daisy expects, and she begins to realize that her experience with the supernatural might be no match for her mother's secrets, nor what lurks within these walls…

A decade later, Brittney is desperate to get out from under the thumb of her abusive mother, a bestselling author who claims her stay at "Miracle Mansion" allowed her to see the error of her ways. But Brittney knows that's nothing but a sham. She decides the new season of her popular Haunted web series will uncover what happened to a young Black girl in the mansion ten years prior and finally expose her mother's lies. But as she gets more wrapped up in the investigation, she'll have to decide: if she can only bring one story to light, which one matters most—Daisy's or her own?

As Brittney investigates the mansion in the present, Daisy's story runs parallel in the past, both timelines propelling the girls to face the most dangerous monsters of all: those that hide in plain sight.

My Review:
Well I loved reading this book! I've loved Liselle Sambury's previous books, and the synopsis of this one sounded really great, so I was excited to pick it up. And oh, was it a fantastic read! I had such a great time reading this story! Between Daisy seeing ghosts, and Brittney's show, there were so many interesting elements to this story! 

First I have to say, that this cover is stunning. It's not the usual thing that I love with colours, but the more human looking on the top half, and the human-shaped tree in the water, it's really enticing to look at and I love it! 

That we got both Daisy and Brittney's story, was so great! I wanted to know what was going on, and I just couldn't put this book down! We know from Brittney's time, that something bad happened sometime in the close future for Daisy. So we had that hanging over our heads as things kept going along! 

Throughout, the tension was really helping push the story forward and keep me reading pages, it was creepy and I loved every minute of it, even when it was dealing with difficult topics. It was just all so well done and I couldn't get enough! 

Loved reading this book and I can't wait to read more by Liselle Sambury!
