Monsters (novel)

Monsters is the third book in The Ashes Trilogy.
Monsters opens up with Alex falling down into the cave where the water level is rising. She says she's only fallen like this once in her life and recounts a memory with her parents where she jumped off a cliff into water. She then snaps out of it and thinks of when the doctors first diagnosed her 'monster' or tumor, saying that it started back then.
