Behold the Monster

I was really looking forward to a good true crime novel, however I have mixed feelings about Behold the Monster. When I read non-fiction, especially true crime novels, I really want it to be about that...actual events and research. Jillian Lauren mixes fiction within this one, basing the stories of the murdered women off her research. It may not be that way for others, but for me it threw off my non-fiction flow.

I did enjoy the background and history of Samuel Little. Reading her meetings with him were eerie and chilled my entire being. He is pure evil.

Overall, not a bad read and I am sure other readers will wholeheartedly love this one. The format for this one just wasn't my cup of coffee. If you have this one on your radar, I would say to give it a read. You may enjoy a lot more than I did.

I sincerely appreciate the publisher and NetGalley for the review copy. All opinions expressed are my own.
