Creature is a compelling exploration of awkward adolescence, infused with a dark and unsettling twist. Astrid Kent captures the discomfort of growing up—the feeling of being out of place in one’s own body—and pushes it into eerie, unexpected territory. The novel thrives on ambiguity, raising questions about identity and transformation without offering easy resolutions. By the end, there is a lingering sense of unease, along with several unanswered questions that invite reflection long after the story ends. It’s a haunting read that leaves the reader hoping for a sequel, eager to see where this unsettling world might lead next.

I really enjoyed reading Creature. I found myself rooting for both characters, and the story took me on twists and turns I didn’t expect, which made it all the better. I’m looking forward to any further books by Astrid!
