All These Monsters (#1) by Amy Tintera


Scrabs... they are monsters that have spread across the world in 2013.  They tunnel underground and pop up in heavy populated areas killing and destroying anything they come across.  The U. S. has mostly gotten it under control, but in Europe, they are heavily infested.  

Clara is 17 and decides to join the St. John's group who is going to train you and send you over seas to help fight the scrabs.  Her father is abusive and her mother and older brother do not really do anything to protect her.  When she leaves her dad tries to lock her in, but she escapes with her brother Laurence's help.  She reports to Atlanta to train and meets Julian, who is her team leader, he finds out that she doesn't have parental permission and is set to send her home, but she shares that she will NOT be going home and he deletes the email and lets her stay.  She qualifies and heads to Paris.  Once there they continue training after being attacked by scrabs.  She and Julian begin to "date" and the team begin to fight scrabs and discover there is something fishy with the MDG (Monster Defense Group) because they are doing something with the scrabs, like training them or something.  As they dig into the mystery surrounding MDG, Clara realizes not everyone is who they seem and some are dangerous.  

Has some language.  No sex, there is violence, of course.   I feel like I would be comfortable with 7th and up reading.
