Mary Shelley Makes A Monster by Octavia Cade

Mary Shelley Makes A Monster by Octavia Cade

All our monsters are mirrors. And when Mary Shelley’s monster—built from her life rather than her pen, born out of biography instead of blood—outlives its mother, that monster goes looking for a substitute. But all the monster really knows of women is that women write, and so the search for a replacement takes it first to Katherine Mansfield, and then to other women who know what mutilated things can be made from ink and mirrors…

Lilyn’s Teaser Review

The author does a great job of throwing you in the deep end with everything that’s happening and she packs a lot of action into about seventy pages. It kept me engaged the entire read.

The Beauty by Aliya Whiteley Book Cover

The Beauty by Aliya Whiteley

A dark and brutal vision of the future, this is not a tale for the faint of heart.

To start: there will be love. The word was dead. Then it rose from under the earth, took form, came to us and demanded our attention.

In the Valley of the Rocks, Nate is the storyteller, the voice and memory of the Group. Through the nights beyond women, William leads with youth and strength. Doctor Ben tends to their wounds in the dying days of man. Everyone has a role, even Uncle Ted, who spends so much time out in the woods.

For what can man hope to achieve in a world without women? When the past is only grief how long should you hold on to it? What secrets can the forest offer to change it all?

Discover The Beauty.

Toni’s Teaser Review

Whiteley’s writing is very straight to the point and I am here for it. This isn’t my first of Whiteley’s books that I have reviewed. But I have to say it is my favorite. It is the weird quotient that I loved about the book. Whiteley’s imagination is amazing. The pacing of the story was spot on for me. It was a fast read that as a reader I needed to know what happened next. There weren’t any unneeded scenes to fill the story out. The flow was perfect and the emotion of the characters shine through the story.
