What Rough Beast by Mindy McGinnisMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Ava wakes half-dressed to find a boy standing over her. She reports the rape, but no one believes her. Her job at a wildlife rehabilitation center offers solace: there, she can care for animals in worse shape than she is. Micah knows he has made many mistakes but is certain he did not rape Ava. As he tries to move forward, he wonders whether his past misdeeds will come to light. Hailey hopes her looks will help her escape poverty—but how far is she willing to go?
What Rough Beast is a stand-alone horror novel that was captivating from the start. McGinnis weaves the three characters’ points of view into a tale that almost turns its own pages. Readers will explore the thoughts and feelings of these teens as the final scene approaches. What Rough Beast is a fresh example of a young adult horror novel.
