"Monster" by Diane Hoh is a gripping horror novel that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. The story follows a group of high school students who are participating in a weekend-long model United Nations conference at a remote hotel. However, their educational retreat takes a terrifying turn when a violent snowstorm traps them inside, and a mysterious killer begins to pick them off one by one. As the students struggle to survive, they must also confront their own secrets and fears. Hoh masterfully builds tension and suspense throughout the novel, as the reader is left guessing who will be the next victim and who is behind the mask of the killer. The characters are well-developed, and the reader can't help but become invested in their survival. One of the strengths of "Monster" is Hoh's ability to create a sense of isolation and claustrophobia. The remote location of the hotel and the raging snowstorm outside make the readers feel just as trapped as the characters. The hotel itself becomes a character in the story, with its labyrinthine hallways and hidden rooms adding to the sense of mystery and danger. Another notable aspect of the novel is the way Hoh explores the theme of identity. Each of the characters is playing a role at the model United Nations conference, but as the story progresses, they are forced to confront their true selves. This theme is particularly relevant to the killer, whose identity is hidden behind a mask, but who is ultimately revealed to be someone the reader least expects. Overall, "Monster" is a thrilling and suspenseful horror novel that will keep readers guessing until the very end. It's a perfect read for fans of the genre who enjoy well-developed characters, a gripping plot, and a healthy dose of fear...
