Monsters aren’t the villains in this amazingly written story. The hero is the enemy, monsters can travel in time and there’s a mystery to solve. I loved the found-family trope, one of my favorites, and the impossible heist was just *chef’s kiss*
I enjoyed the characters and how they interacted with each other. The story is both plot and character-driven. I hope it gets the hype and success it deserves!

Thank you to NetGalley, Hodder & Stoughton and Vanessa Len for the opportunity to read the ARC. I loved this novel and I can’t wait to read its sequel!
