At its core, *We Shall Be Monsters* explores the intricate relationships between mothers and daughters. One timeline follows Virginia, who is irresistibly drawn to the woods her mother has forbidden her to enter. The other timeline follows Virginia's daughter, who must venture into those same woods to break a curse. Beautifully written, this fantasy novel evokes the essence of an old fairytale, enriched with unexpected twists and a touch of horror.

At it's heart, We Shall Be Monsters is a book about the relationships between mothers and daughters. One timeline follows Virginia who longs for the woods her mother has tried to keep her away from while the other follows Virginia's eventual daughter, who must journey into the woods to break a curse. Beautifully written, this fantasy novel reads like an old fairytale with some twists and a twinge of horror along the way.
