The Nature of Monsters
What if the monster was never the real danger?
Victoria has spent her whole life being judged for sins she didn't commit. Daughter of a murdered call girl in a town that never forgave either of them, she clawed her way out of the foster system and into the quiet sanctuary of the local library - the one place that has never asked anything of her but care and order. She keeps her head down, her heart guarded, and her world carefully contained.
She doesn't know she's no longer alone in it.
He has existed for only a short time, pieced together and brought to life in a laboratory by hands that didn't care what they were creating. Massive, scarred, stitched together at the seams, and burning with the need to understand - he finds her by accident and cannot bring himself to leave. She is the first thing in his brief, brutal existence that feels like safe. So he watches. Learns. Waits.
Two souls shaped by pain, isolation, and the cruelty of people who were supposed to protect them. Two beings who have been called monsters - one by a town that feared her bloodline, one by a world that feared his very existence.
But when the darkness closing in on Victoria's life refuses to stay quiet, the creature in the shadows will have to decide what he truly is.
A dark, gothic romance inspired by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, The Nature of Monsters explores power, protection, trauma, and the ache of being seen for the very first time.
