Amanda Headlee
"With her debut novel, Till We Become Monsters, Amanda Headlee raises the genre to a chilling new level. I recommend reading this one with all the lights on." --Phil Giunta, author of Like Mother, Like Daughters Monsters exist and Korin Perrin knew this as truth because his grandmother told him so. Korin, raised in the shadow of his older brother Davis, is an imaginative child who believes his brother is a monster. After the death of their grandmother, seven-year-old Korin, blaming Davis for her demise, tries to kill him. Sixteen years following the attempt on Davis' life, racked with guilt, Korin comes to terms with the fact that Davis may not be the one who is the monster after all. Past wrongs needing to be righted, Korin agrees to a hunting trip with his brother and father. But they, along with two friends, never make it to their destination. An accident along the way separates the hunters in the dark forests of Minnesota during the threat of an oncoming blizzard. As the stranded hunters search for each other and safety, an ancient evil wakes.

"Kind of had to sit on this one for a moment. First, It’s a debut for the author, congrats! I was honestly intrigued by the story the whole time.
Second, it could definitely have stood to have a couple more rounds of editing, maybe some research on a couple things. Felt like I was reading an ARC.
Third, it was short. Right at 225 pages. An easy and fast read.
Overall this is a story about a dysfunctional family and sibling rivalry gone horribly awry.
It definitely makes you realize that you can’t take one persons’ experience at face-value. You need both (or all four) sides of the story.
Korin and Davis are brothers that just never sat down and had an honest conversation. And their parents should probably have read a parenting book or ten!"
