Monster
From the twisted mind of Yolanda Olson, comes the retelling of the story of a girl who is no ordinary girl; of an immortal who doesn’t really fit in anywhere. The Corpse Serenade series is the story of Finnegan Sloane, the “Monster” who sees herself as such. This is her journey as she fights for her survival as it becomes threatened by outside forces as she seeks revenge on the one who made her. This is not your mother’s romance novel. This is a gripping, tangled tale of vengeance as Finnegan does what she must, even if it means painfully dying a second time.

Yolanda has done it again....took me on a complete roller coaster ride with twists and turns galore! So many great characters...and Monsters!!! Did I mention the monsters!? I absolutely adore this book, and of course the end of this book leaves me wanting more.
Finn, like so many other young girls becomes enamoured by this beautiful young man who seems to have eyes only for her...little does she know what lurks in the dark, and the fate that awaits her.
Revenge is all she knows now and she has 30 days to decide....Kennie or herself. Making new friends along the way that will become family will make this a difficult choice.

COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!!!!
Finn is going to kill her monster maker. The day has come . Finn has waited a year to find her maker . But he wants to make a deal and she has 30 days to answer. She starts meeting people who she befriends and after being alone for a year, they become her family. They all want to help fight her battle that lies ahead. She meets Cody who is a demon/angel . He's known her from the day she was born and is in love with her. You can't help but fall in love with him. Finn doesn't want any of her friends/family to get killed in this battle that's ahead. So Finn is always trying to sneak away, but they, mostly Cody keep finding her.
Crazy fun book. I felt so many emotions while reading this. It left me thinking," no way!?!?! This can't be the ending,,,,Grrrr . What just happened????? Well actually those were my crazy emotions the whole time reading this book. I think Yolanda Olsen has a little bratyness going on inside her. LOL. Great JOB!!!!

Aghhhhhh Yolanda does it again ! This has to be one of those books where you sit and read it and it plays out like a movie in your head, I kidd you not! Finnigan's story is edge gripping, Thrilling and did I mention, Phenomenal? This might be one of the longest books I have ever read besides Stephan Kings Books but just like his books, it took me on a ride , This book should be made into a movie! The storyline of vengeance was epic I definitely recommend that everyone read it and learn more about Finnigan and how she looked upon herself as a monster, seeking for revenge for having her humanity ripped away I do hope that there will be a spin off , but then again I love how she made me want more she never fails at making me need another chapter!

I LOVE when this woman writes paranormal
Yolanda writes amazing stories, but when she writes paranormal, they far surpass her other books. This one you want to come to the ending to see what happens, but so hope it doesn't end because story is so addictive.
Finn is like any average girl. So when a handsome stranger pays attention to her at the local carnival, she follows him blindly. Little does she know that will be her last mistake. Now she lives for revenge. She wants nothing more, then to catch the monster that did this to her. Thirty days is all she has left to make her decision..live or die..again.

Great story, great characters!
Yolanda has this way of writing that makes you just want to seep right in!! Finnegan is amazing, and it really makes me want to root for her, even if she is the monster.
Finnegan's been given a month to make a hard choice. Save herself, or save the only family she's known. With an array of other monsters, and a lot of "characters", it's never a dull moment.

Every monster is in this book, but it's not typical in any way. Lot's of action and great friendships are formed. I loved each character, in their own way, they were special. The best freaking ending!

I did enjoy this book but thought at times it dragged slightly. There quite a few good twists but i would've prefered it if there'd been more action than there was.
