All These Monsters (All These Monsters #1)

From New York Times best-selling author Amy Tintera, a high-stakes sci-fi adventure about a teen girl who will do anything to escape her troubled home—even if that means joining a dangerous monster-fighting squad. Perfect for fans of Warcross and Renegades. 

Seventeen-year-old Clara is ready to fight back. Fight back against her abusive father, fight back against the only life she’s ever known, and most of all, fight back against scrabs, the earth-dwelling monsters that are currently ravaging the world. So when an opportunity arises for Clara to join an international monster-fighting squad, she jumps at the chance.

When Clara starts training with her teammates, however, she realizes what fighting monsters really means: sore muscles, exhaustion, and worst of all, death. Scrabs are unpredictable, violent, and terrifying. But as Clara gains confidence in her battle skills, she starts to realize scrabs might not be the biggest evil. The true monsters are the ones you least expect.

• Escape from Abuse: For seventeen-year-old Clara, joining a monster-fighting squad isn’t about glory—it’s the only ticket out of her abusive father’s house.
• High-Stakes Monster Hunting: From the streets of Paris to the heart of London, Clara’s training is a brutal crash course in fighting scrabs—vicious, earth-dwelling creatures that are just as likely to kill her as the mission is.
• A Reluctant Found Family: She signed up to be a soldier, not to make friends, but the bonds forged in battle with her new teammates might be the one thing that keeps her alive.
• Twists and Moral Ambiguity: Clara quickly learns that the scrabs might not be the only monsters on the battlefield. The deadliest enemies are the ones you’re trained to trust.
