Title: The Mary Shelley Club
Author: Goldy Moldavsky
Genre: Thriller, Young Adult
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fear tests. They can be born from movies, but the Mary Shelley Club brings them to life.

Rachel Chavez is recovering from a home invasion and neglecting her PTSD. Her mother has transferred them both from their former world in the burbs to a new one in NYC (which I’m unsure how she affords on a teacher’s salary). This life is a delicate new existence where Rachel tries to gently poke at her past when she’s comfortable doing so and avoid doing so whenever it’s possible. Until she sees something unusual happen at a party.

“I, too, crave chaos.”
