"The Monster" by Edgar Saltus is a book that kicks off with dreamy newly-weds, Leilah and Gulian Verplank planning their romantic getaway. Their world is turned upside down when Leilah gets a scary letter that shakes up everything she thought she knew about her past, throwing her into a spiral of confusion and messing with her love life. At first, the story paints a picture of paradise, but that quickly fades when Leilah's unsettling discovery leads her down a path of fear. This shocking beginning dives into big ideas about who we are, what love really means, and how secrets can mess everything up.
