Make Me a Monster by Kalynn Bayron
4.5

“There’s a dead body waiting for me at home and I’m excited to see her.”

MAKE ME A MONSTER was a deliciously spooky YA horror reminiscent of Frankenstein and The Addams Family.

Our main girl's family owns a funeral home - I mean, COME ON - and she has just become their newest mortician's assistant. I loved all of the characters in this story and all of the heart put into it (I only cried a few times, okay!!!), add a dash of the dead and I was set for a very fun literary journey!

Highly recommend picking this one up!

Thanks to Bloomsbury YA for the early copy for review! Out September 30, 2025.
