Stray Magic

From the author who eats plot bunnies for breakfast, comes another book that jumped the line and ruined hours of painstaking planning.

Clayton:

The utterly unremarkable and forgettable assistant for the Boston chapter house is having the best/worst day ever, and it just keeps going! He's either getting a monster boyfriend or getting eaten by one, and neither of them is sure which one they want more.

Throw in some missing kids, a mysterious, sentient tree, and a boat that refuses to sink, and Clayton has what he’d call a regular Tuesday.

***

Mal:

The monster inside him just wants to eat people in peace and not get sucked into some bullshit wannabe guardian drama getting between him and a proper meal. Unfortunately for him, not only is Clayton’s misfiring magic constantly dragging Mal into his world, but the little asshole has the audacity to be attractive while doing it.

Also, why do kids keep following him around like ducklings? A monster has his dignity, okay?

This book can be read independently from any other book in the series because the author is a psychopath with no ability to follow traditional series rules. Perhaps one day they will, but so far, not so much.
