Monstrilio by Gerardo Sámano Córdova
2.0

The book felt like two books somehow mixed together. It started off with the promise of something great and morbid and wild and ended with unfulfilled potential. The middle felt like nothing. 

The the start of the book was promising, and the book from m's pov and him batteling his true nature for the good of the family is really interesting. But then the awfulness of his selfish family who project their dead child onto a new being and force him to live as a human and deny his human nature, constantly saying they accept him and yet making him conform to a society he's not entirely a part of is just cruel and since it's told from their pov it's quite boring.
 

The chracters all say one thing and do another, not very consitent in their characterisation. It's all just not it with this book idk.
