All These Monsters by Amy Tintera is an exciting sci-fi book packed with action and suspense that will keep you turning the page. You will be rooting for Clara, who runs away from her abusive father and joins a scrab fighting squad where she learns combat skills, meets new friends, and falls in love. You might be surprised that the scrabs are not the ones who tear her team apart. Despite the team’s success, the true monsters get away, creating a cliffhanger in the end.

Many twists and turns and unpredictable events made this book a thrilling read. It is easy to believe the story line despite the fictional, ferocious monsters. The characters and relationships are well developed because I got to know each of their personalities, and I felt like I really knew them. Overall, the book was well written, and I would recommend it to teens who like action, romance or sci-fi. If you like reading All These Monsters, you will enjoy the sequel, All These Warriors and other books by Amy Tintera, including Reboot and the Ruined series.
