4.0
tw: drug use, animal death, death, suicide, medical trauma, child abuse, suspected police brutality, active shooter situation, possible transphobia, prejudice, murder
cool facts: urban fantasy, first of a series, mostly third person and multiple viewpoints + timelines, lgbt+ (including an ace character!), BIPOC author, my first book by him, no steam (level 1), short chapters
tldr summary: what if monsters were real? would we accept them if they revealed themselves? feat. werewolves, vampires, witches, seers.
vibes: mysterious, tense, confusing, a little creepy, dark. excellent writing. a few head scratching moments about science-y stuff like the separation of atoms and alternate timelines. i’m very curious to see where this story goes.
