A review by rihoward
Beautiful Russian Monster by Odette Stone
3.0
3ish stars
I was so excited for this book. This author has always been a favorite of mine and I have been eagerly waiting for new words from her. Therefore, this review is hard to write because this book did not live up to my expectations.
The book started intense. In fact for the first 1/2 of the story I was waiting on bated breath. I was loving it. Then something changed in the story. It felt rushed and choppy. Then it ended. There were so many questions left unanswered. Things were in limbo and then there was this what the hell moment in the future and boom the story was over. I even made a confused wth sound when the book ended. I'm not sure what happened because this isn't like her typical writing style. Everything in the end from a weird conversation between Grandma and Viktor, Pierre, the situation with Drake, Bea... It all was just disjointed to me. In fact, had this not been an author I normally rave about, and hadn't started out so strong,I'm not sure if I would have even ranked this 3 stars.
I'm still a huge fan of this author but this was not for me.
