Book Review: Green Monsters by Nicky Shearsby @srlpublishing

Book Description

I knew what love was. Love was sex. And I was most definitely going to make Jason love me today. Love me as if his life depended on it.

Stacey Adams did not set out with the intention of hating her sister. In fact, she was convinced, at some point, she must have loved her once. Over the years, however, Emma took that love, twisting it into something bitter until Stacey felt she had no choice but to act on her impulsive instincts. Emma and Jason Cole were rich, their lives nothing at all like the shit storm Stacey’s nonsensical existence had recently become. Stacey merely wanted what she felt she deserved. What she believed she was truly destined to experience. Yes, she may well have been slightly envious of her sister’s incredible life, but it couldn’t be helped. Emma had, after all, brought it all on herself. She simply should have shared some of her good fortune with her poor begrudged sister.

After seemingly finding it easy to steal her sister’s husband, Stacey’s life appeared complete. All she needed now was her sister gone, out of the way, out of their lives, forever. Freeing the man she believed had been drawn into her sister’s twisted control, for too long. Stacey only wanted to be happy. There was nothing wrong with that. Jason was destined to become her happiness. He was her one true love. She would save him and save herself in the process.

However, when Jason chooses his wife over his newly found lover, Stacey’s world is turned upside down. She believes that her sister simply has her claws too deeply into her man. He doesn’t really want her. He is simply behaving the perfect, doting husband.

Green Monsters tells the tale of a sister’s jealousy for a life that was not her own. She only wanted to be happy, of course. And Jason would become her happiness, no matter what it costs them all…

Little does Stacey know what her actions are about to uncover.

Review

The best book I’ve read this year!

Green Monsters is an intense read that kept me wanting more and even now I want more!

Stacey Adams was jealous of her sister Emma’s life, she had a husband and daughter, and Stacey had no one. The jealously even from page one was immense, I could feel it seeping through the pages. She wanted Emma’s lifestyle and her husband Jason and she will do absolutely anything she can to make that happen.

I was hooked to this from the first page. Stacey wasn’t particularly a likeable main character, she seemed very naïve for her age, she didn’t know what love really was and at some points, I just wanted to reach into the book and give her a good shake.

This book was absolutely brilliant, I felt so many different emotions during different parts, anger, grief, shock etc. I didn’t want it to finish.

BRING ON BOOK 2!
