These are the secrets I have kept. This is the trust I never betrayed. But he is dead now and has been for nearly ninety years, the one who gave me his trust, the one for whom I kept these secrets. The one who saved me . . . and the one who cursed me.
So starts the diary of Will Henry, orphan and assistant to a doctor with a most unusual specialty: monster hunting. In the short time he has lived with the doctor, Will has grown accustomed to his late night callers and dangerous business. But when one visitor comes with the body of a young girl and the monster that was eating her, Will's world is about to change forever. The doctor has discovered a baby Anthropophagus--a headless monster that feeds through a mouth in its chest--and it signals a growing number of Anthropophagi. Now, Will and the doctor must face the horror threatenning to overtake and consume our world before it is too late.

I liked all of Rick Yancy's fifth wave books and I usually like anything Annell reads. I wanted this to be scary. I guess what really scares me is something I think could be real, (and of course zombie hordes), this one I never felt could ever be real.
After 100 pages I was giving up on the book, however, I read the end and it redeemed the book enough for me that I finished it. So reading the end is not always a bad thing.
I did like it. Yes I was scared. I'm excited to read the next in the series.
