Kacey is the new girl in Broken Falls. When she moved in with her father, she stepped into a brand-new life. A life with a stepbrother, a stepmother, and strangest of all, an adoring younger half sister. Kacey s new life is eerily charming compared with the wild highs and lows of the old one she lived with her volatile mother. And everyone is so nice in Broken Falls she s even been welcomed into a tight new circle of friends. Bailey and Jade invite her to do everything with them. Which is why it s so odd when they start acting distant. And when they don t invite her to the biggest party of the year, it doesn t exactly feel like an accident. But Kacey will never be able to ask, because Bailey never makes it home from that party. Suddenly, Broken Falls doesn t seem so welcoming after all especially once everyone starts looking to the new girl for answers.
Initial thoughts: The audiobook was engaging, and probably kept me a little bit more interested than the book itself would've. The plot was twisted, though the outcome didn't surprise me as much as I had expected. Then again, the friendships were extremely toxic, so I did feel rather unfazed about the individual characters as well. Still, Little Monsters was a murder mystery worth reading as I tried to figure out what was going on.
