The One Who Eats Monsters by Casey Matthews

5.0

An amazing read, the characters are all great in their own ways, as things go on you really want Ryn to get the happiness she deserves despite her dark past.
Conspiracies, elder gods, and good explanations for supernatural occurrences make this whole book enjoyable to read.

Then you get to the epilogue, and you see Ryn's actions through a different lense, and it's in that moment you understand that everything she has said about herself, and how Naomi would not accept her as a whole if she knew too much, is true.
The juxtaposition between her getting a family and finding love, to her portrayal as a genuine horror movie monster is the perfect end to the book.
Sad to see it looks like it's been a while since the author last updated their progress but understandable that this happens sometimes, can only hope that a sequel is still in the works for the near future.

Content warnings of many depictions and descriptions of sexual assault, suicide, brutal and gorey murder, and general violence and drug use
