I may be the Cowardly Lyon, but I\u2019m willing to do whatever it takes to protect my friends\u2014even if it kills me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>My name is Ollie Volkova, and I am not broken.<\/p>\n<p>Though my friends may say otherwise after I spent three weeks with a sadistic madman. They think I\u2019m crazy, but when a monster called the Manananggal surfaces on the outskirts of Anchorage, my father offers to tell me about my mother in exchange for my help in hunting down the winged creature. It\u2019s a deal I can\u2019t pass up. Not when my mother\u2019s past is so important to my future.<\/p>\n<p>But the more I learn about her, the more I discover about my monster\u2019s soul, and when my father reveals the final, darkest truth, the decision I make will change the course of my life.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>*Warning: Recommended for mature readers due to sexual content, violence, and language.*<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TBR.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6166\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TBR.png?resize=113%2C51\" alt=\"\" width=\"113\" height=\"51\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/31160885-monster-mine\">Goodreads<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/kellys-review.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10982\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/kellys-review.jpg?resize=300%2C96\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"96\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/kellys-review.jpg?resize=300%2C96 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/kellys-review.jpg?w=428 428w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Truths and lies, twists and turns&#8230;Fate. Ollie was kidnapped and tortured. Her friends are on a never ending hunt to find her, to help her. Turns out that Ollie has reunited with her father who she learns isn\u2019t all the monster that everyone believes him to be, at least that is what she is trying to figure out. She learns so much about her mom and how her parents came to be, why her mother left, and why her father keeps fighting. Sunny is with Luke and Hatter looking for Ollie. Ollie reaches out to them and they come to the sanctuary that Ollie is at.<\/p>\n<p>So many demons&#8230;Luke is dealing with the truth about Ollie being a halfling, Hatter is dealing with his manic episodes, Sunny is dealing with trying to protect everyone, and Ollie is putting her pieces back together.<\/p>\n<p>The story goes back and forth between Ollie\u2019s and Sunny\u2019s POV. You are totally immersed in this story. Ollie is struggling with deciding where she belongs. With her father, Hex, and the halflings or if she needs to go back to Fear University. The lesser evil, right? They are all faced with major decisions, they fight with themselves and their demons to do what is right.<\/p>\n<p>The story is jam packed with&#8230;with everything. Action, love, and all around badassery. There are so many warring emotions that you can\u2019t help but to feel like you are right in the middle.<\/p>\n<p>The Fear University series is one of my favorites and the author did not disappoint with Monster Mine!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buy-Links.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6156\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buy-Links.png?resize=158%2C45\" alt=\"\" width=\"158\" height=\"45\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/aw\/d\/B01J08RQVS\/ref=mp_s_a_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1483811874&amp;sr=8-1-fkmr0&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&amp;keywords=monster+mini+meg+collett\">Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/monster-mine-meg-collett\/1124221877?ean=9781535523974\">B&amp;N<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/monster-mine\">Kobo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6153\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png?resize=231%2C55\" alt=\"\" width=\"231\" height=\"55\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/7334288-1.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17247\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/7334288-1.jpg?resize=177%2C266\" alt=\"\" width=\"177\" height=\"266\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Meg Collett lives deep in the hills of Tennessee where the cell phone service is a blessing and the Internet is a myth of epic proportions.
