"Monster" is the story of a shy, house-bound, stuttering young woman, Beck Shelton. Her husband, Reed, is a deputy sheriff, and though he loves her deeply, he wants to help her broaden her horizons and develop her self-confidence. He has planned a survival weekend with another married couple, complete with a wildnerness guide. But like all of Peretti's stories that deal with the dark side of humanity, things rarely go as planned.

Peretti knows how to grab the reader's attention and hold on with every turn of the page. With a point of view that moves back and forth between those searching for Beck and what Beck is experiencing, there are several edge-of-the-seat moments. A map is included at the end of every chapter to show the location of events that took place in that chapter. And it isn't until the book is nearly concluded, that one finds out who the true monster is.
