Monsters - January 20, 2017

At The Water's Edge by Sara Gruen
4 stars



Madeline is living the high life in war time America with her husband, Ellis and best friend, Hank, when one party too many leaves Ellis without any family money.  As Hank and Ellis are ineligible to fight the war, they decide to pursue a different monster all together in Loch Ness.  As they recklessly cross the submarine filled ocean to war weary Scotland, Maddie begins to learn exactly what she and her husband are made of, and it may not be the same stuff.  A compelling story with interesting side characters, I found myself immersed in the small town on the Loch.  Some of this was not quite believable, and I'm talking more about relationships and personalities and less about monsters.  Overall, though, I continue to enjoy this author's books.  I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
