3.75 Stars 
 Monster was the first book I've read by Jessica Gadziala. I got hooked on the fast pace of this book immediately. There were a few grammatical errors, but not enough to take away from the book. I'm not sure what exactly stopped me from giving it a higher rating, but I stand by 3.75 stars. The crazy thing is, I really hope she writes Shooter and Paine's stories. (Yup, folks, these are real character's names.) I'll definitely continue with the series, if Jessica continues to explore the secondary characters.
