Omschrijving
An NPR, Washington Post, Book Riot, Library Journal and Audible Best Book of 2024! One of the Best Books of the Year So Far from: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Polygon, LitHub, Bookpage, Crime Reads, and Geek Girl Authority "This unusual queer romance is a heartfelt fable about disability and the possibility of reconciling conflicting needs through love and understanding." --The Guardian "Sweetly furious, darkly funny, and gruesomely wholesome. It's a love story for the unloved, a happily-ever-after with a higher-than-average body count. I just adored it." --Alix E. Harrow, New York Times-bestselling author of Starling House Shesheshen has made a mistake fatal to all monsters: she's fallen in love. Shesheshen is a shapeshifter, who happily resides as an amorphous lump at the bottom of a ruined manor. When her rest is interrupted by impolite monster hunters, she constructs a body from the remains of past meals: a metal chain for a backbone, borrowed bones for limbs, and a bear trap as an extra mouth. Badly hurt by the hunters, Shesheshen's nursed back to health by Homily, a warm-hearted human. Homily is kind and would make a great co-parent: an ideal place to lay Shesheshen's eggs so their young can devour Homily from the inside out. But as they grow close, Shesheshen realizes that eating her girlfriend isn't an option. Just as Shesheshen's about to confess her identity, Homily reveals something else: she's hunting a shapeshifting monster that supposedly cursed her family. Has Shesheshen seen it anywhere? Shesheshen didn't curse anyone, so now she has to figure out why Homily's twisted family thinks she did. As Shesheshen's hunt for the monster becomes increasingly deadly, the bigger challenge remains: learning how to build a life with, rather than in, the woman she loves. "A stealthily funny, slyly smart, and remarkably touching story. Its wisdom will creep up on
you as surely as your affection for its monstrous main character."--Veronica Roth, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of When Among Crows
