DELICIOUS MONSTERS

Narrators Sandra Okuboyejo and Angel Pean deliver haunting performances in this young adult thriller. Ten years apart, two young women uncover the secret of a mansion in secluded Ontario. Daisy, whose family originally inherited the mansion, can see spirits. Ten years later, Brittany wants to solve the mystery of who died in the house and write about it in her web series. Though the main characters have stark differences, both narrators use tones that work well for a murky mystery. Okuboyejo and Pean deliver paranormal intrigue that becomes clear over time with exciting reveals. The time jumps can be confusing at first, but the eventual merging of the stories is rewarding.
