About this listen

From New York Times best-selling author Amy Tintera, a high-stakes sci-fi adventure about a teen girl who will do anything to escape her troubled home—even if that means joining a dangerous monster-fighting squad. Perfect for fans of Warcross and Renegades.

Seventeen-year-old Clara is ready to fight back. Fight back against her abusive father, fight back against the only life she’s ever known, and most of all, fight back against scrabs, the earth-dwelling monsters that are currently ravaging the world. So when an opportunity arises for Clara to join an international monster-fighting squad, she jumps at the chance.

When Clara starts training with her teammates, however, she realizes what fighting monsters really means: sore muscles, exhaustion, and worst of all, death. Scrabs are unpredictable, violent, and terrifying. But as Clara gains confidence in her battle skills, she starts to realize scrabs might not be the biggest evil. The true monsters are the ones you least expect.

Monsters , such an easy word to use but so many different meanings.
Monsters arnt just scary creatures that kill and savage in the dark, monster can be people hidden in plain sight waiting for that trigger to come out.
In this book you will find both one monster easier to identify then the other but once you see the other monster it's hard to see anything else.
Loyalty, mateship and sacrifice that is what you find In the pages of this book and the courage of a team willing to do anything for one another.

Loved this book, it's a must read.

I typically really enjoy Amy Tintera. I absolutely devoured reboot and rebel when I initially discovered them and have reread them multiple times since, much the same with Listen for the Lie which I read recently and loved.

With this in mind, comparatively, this book is fine. It’s just fine.

The world building is trying to be interesting and engaging because it utilises the evolved social media aspect however there are too many plausibility leaps for me, personally, to tolerate (I say this in the full understanding that the majority of recent world news has also seemed beyond plausibility so I may the one in the wrong here…?).

I appreciate Amy’s clarification through prose of the more subtle signs of potential abuse in a relationship and the presentation and normalisation of this information in an easily digestible context for the YA, however for myself (who is a 28yo health professional) it feels…instructional and binary.

Basically, I see what she’s doing, I respect it. It’s not for me. It’s not supposed to be for me. It works for the demographic it targets.

Very YA
