Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's pick is Only A Monster by Vanessa Len
Here is the Goodreads synopsis
With the sweeping romance of Passenger and the dark fantasy edge of This Savage Song, this standout YA contemporary fantasy debut from Vanessa Len, is the first in a planned trilogy.It should have been the perfect summer. Sent to stay with her late mother’s eccentric family in London, sixteen-year-old Joan is determined to enjoy herself. She loves her nerdy job at the historic Holland House, and when her super cute co-worker Nick asks her on a date, it feels like everything is falling into place.But she soon learns the truth. Her family aren’t just eccentric: they’re monsters, with terrifying, hidden powers. And Nick isn’t just a cute boy: he’s a legendary monster slayer, who will do anything to bring them down.As she battles Nick, Joan is forced to work with the beautiful and ruthless Aaron Oliver, heir to a monster family that hates her own. She’ll have to embrace her own monstrousness if she is to save herself, and her family. Because in this story . . .. . . she is not the hero.
This sounds so unique and I am already excited about the lush world building that this book is sure to have. I love fantasy books and this one being more contemporary has me really excited.
I cannot wait to find out what kind of monsters we're dealing with here, and I am definitely here for the forbidden romance that is sure to spark between Joan and Aaron. It gives me Buffy and Angel vibes (slayer/vampire) and that makes me even more excited to read this.
Expected release date - February 22, 2022
