Set in a world where monsters are real and literary characters really exist, "Strange Beasts" explores a society of monster hunters who aim to put an end to a series of murders, beast like in nature.

Filled with monsters both mythical and whose we all know a love from classics, Susan J. Morris has created a world sure to capture your attention. The early 1900's time period was perfection and the appearance of figures such as Van Helsing and Moriarty really helped to build on my understanding of the world.

If you love a mystery filled with twists with a flair of the supernatural Strange Beasts is sure to be for you!

With a super slow burn romance, a detective partnership featuring a character who usually spends her time in libraries where the dangers are always far away and its monsters, Strange Beast's will keep you gripped to the pages.

4 stars rating from me. Loved the plot and the storytelling in Strange Beast with relatable, likable characters. Loved every single second reading it.

Very thrilling book to read.
Having been out of practice with my gothic/murder mystery style books I was worried I’d be out of my depth but after the first few pages I wrapped my head around the writing style and didn’t look back.
I loved the exploration of the paranormal throughout and really liked the characters and the sapphic romance.
I enjoy any book with a gothic historical feel to it and this was just that.
The ties between the MC’s and other popular literature were great.
Dark and gritty.
I really enjoyed this one,
Thankyou for giving me the chance to give an honest review.

Part historical fantasy, part paranormal mystery, this is a must read for those who want gas lamps with their monsters. Set in turn of the century Paris with an engaging heroine, this was a fun read with a great premise.

A well crafted and enjoyable story which I would highly recommend. The characters are well drawn. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for giving me a copy of the book.

This was a lot of fun. It had a great premise. I however struggled a lot with connecting with the writing style and characters. It had a lot of potential, it just was not for me.
