Hearing of this forced Alessandro and his new friends to fight. Who is the witch that Alessandro can't stop hearing? Will Alessandro and his friends thwart the attack to save the city? Who was it that gave Amon the idea to spring the attack in the first place? Find out in this dramatic tale of Monster.

[Robert David · Rating 3 out of 5]

What I admire most about Phenomenon: Monster Escape to Earth is its ability to combine the supernatural with real human struggles. Alessandro’s desire to escape his heritage and start anew is something we can all relate to, even though his past involves Hell itself. His love for Natalie and his fight for a place in the human world give the novel a strong emotional anchor.

At the same time, the book doesn’t shy away from explosive action and terrifying stakes. Amon’s arrival brings urgency, while the witch’s voice adds mystery. The result is a gripping story that feels like the start of something much larger, richer, and more dangerous

Phenomenon is a unique short story but a bit hard to read due to the lake of paragraphs, making each chapter one long list of words
