50% (view spoiler)[ I do love the bantering, the competition between Harriet and Wyn. Lmao. There is still no clear reason why they broke up. Maybe losing his father changed everything? Not sure but its obvious they still love each other they just need to get real and talk it all out. (hide spoiler)]

Pandora is a historical fiction which is inspired by greek mythology story of Pandora's Box. But instead of a box it is on the form of a grecian vase/pithos. The plot is intriguing yet foreseeable. The multiple POVs is good. I loved the historical setting, the intriguing mystery, lovely romance, and the riveting pacing! Well deserved ending! 3.5/5.

Finished! (view spoiler)[ A well deserved ending for Dora and Edward. But still so many unanswered questions about the mystery pithos. I did enjoyed reading this book. I do like reading books inspired by greek myth (hide spoiler)]

75% (view spoiler)[ I knew it! Hezekiah and his evil plans. Would he be able to get the fortune or the cursed? I'm looking forward for a happy ending for Dora, she deserves it. Poor Hermes though. (hide spoiler)]

50% (view spoiler)[ I think Cornelius has a secret feelings for Edward, the way he hates Dora and everything else when it comes to Edward. lmao. Is the vase really cursed? And Why can Dora open it and not the others? What really is the significance of this vase? (hide spoiler)]

25% Part 1: (view spoiler)[ The first 13 chapters is mostly about the characters introduction and stuff though I already like how badass Dora is. Not sure what the connection between cornelius and the blake and what role will edward play. But I'm eager to find out whats inside the grecian vase. (hide spoiler)]

Only A Monster is a YA fantasy about how a monster survive against humans. I did enjoyed reading this one, a different fantasy story. What it takes to save a family, the monster from a human the love of her life. The adventures in this novel is fun and informative, jumping through time has really got me. The plot at the end is kinda expected but the hows and the things it takes to get there is great. I'm really looking forward for the next book. 4.5/5

@Laura (view spoiler)[ I think so too. I'm almost done. Can't wait for the next book. (hide spoiler)]

Hi checking in

50% (view spoiler)[ Why do I feel like that Joan is somehow related to the King? Or Nick is the King himself. He is not a monster but he can time travel. This is getting more interesting. How come I didn't read this last year its so good (hide spoiler)]
