{Release Blitz & Book Review} The Monster by L.J. Shen

The Monster, an all-new emotional and angst filled standalone romance from USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling author L.J. Shen is available now!

The most important thing I’d ever read was scribbled on the door of a portable restroom, engraved into plastic at a carnival on the outskirts of Boston.
Lust lingers, love stays.
Lust is impatient, love waits.
Lust burns, love warms.
Lust destroys, but love? Love kills.
Maybe it was always my destiny to fall in love with a monster.
When other kids stayed awake at night fearing the pointy-toothed beast hiding in their closet, I longed to see mine.
I wanted to feed it, domesticate it, understand it.
Sam and I were only allowed to love each other in the dark.
Once our story unfolded, and the truth came to light, I was the one to cut the cord.
My name is Aisling Fitzpatrick, and I have a confession to make.
Sam Brennan is not the only monster in this story.

It's not everyday you read a story that makes your heart skip a beat or leave your mind in a twist. 
One of the most addictive and enthralling book from Shen, it kept me invested with titillating passion and riveting turn of events. A virtual Rollercoaster of events happening at warp speed kept my mind in a tizzy at all times.
Lj has carved a niche for herself and named it Alphahole Sector. Much to the delight of readers and consternation of some peers. She's unapologetically changed the character ingredients of a villainous hero. 

description

Sam Brennan, an adopted child of Troy and Sparrow Brennan from Sparrow is our larger than life Angry Young Man , the downtrodden, abandoned child who doesn't believe in karma doing the job for him. This omnipotent hero extracts revenge on his own terms, by his own hands. He presides over his domain ruthlessly, with indomitable cunning, with hands soaked in blood and heart full of hate. 
"He was a mystery, and mysteries were meant to be unearthed, uncovered, and unfolded. I’d finally caught his attention—snatched it against his will—grasping onto it with bloodied fingers, and I had every intention of keeping it." 
Her prose as always is fascinating and mesmerizing, delving into the wronged person psyche. Leigh holds nothing back, be it in slashing dialogue, cutting verbiage or disembowelling sentiments. 
YES, some emotions legit gut your insides. I cringed and recoiled at the stark poignancy of the mission that the heroine Aisling Fitzpatrick has undertaken at a high personal cost. 
"You’re a monster and I’m a monster. We’re both demons, looking for our next pound of flesh." 

description

Aisling intrigued me. Her role reversal, her self sacrificial lamb like personality had to be seen to be believed. Overburdened and under appreciated, she's the quintessential dark mare of the Fitzpatrick clan only to be pawned or used as a reliable favour. 
"The doomed girl mourning her unrequited love" 
I saw my own reflection at times in her, so she shall remain close to my heart from all the Boston Belles .
It's hard not to give anything away, even though the story is vast, Leigh keeps it centered around the lovely couple.
You can never keep a good writer down and that point is repeatedly proven by shen. Rest of them can go suck on a lemon. 
4.5 stars for The Mine Of Lost Souls
