Sister, Maiden, Monster by Lucy A. Snyder follows three women during an outbreak and the aftermath of the planet’s transformation. The world is collapsing as a virus devastates people worldwide. It turns people into monsters and causes unforeseen changes. Erin was infected, and her personality begins to change. She starts to develop a taste for a specific woman and her brain. Erin knows that acting on her desire could lead to disastrous results.
Savannah used to sell her body so others could satisfy their sexual desires. Now she has a new deadly obsession. She loves committing brutal murder and that helps her get off sexually. Since childhood, Mareva’s body has been plagued with tumors that seem to constantly grow and create new ones. Mareva realizes she has an important role in the apocalypse, but she’s afraid of the damage it might cause.
I was on the fence about this novel. It's divided into three parts, each narrated from the perspective of that woman. I found this structure strange and thought a lot of far-out things happened. Sometimes, I think the author added a lot of strange and weird details just to confuse and shock readers. At times, I felt the writing was all over the place.
I didn’t quite love or hate the novel. It had a few interesting moments, but I don't think I would read anything else by the author. Some readers might enjoy the storyline, but it wasn’t for me.
