Someone You Can Build a Nest in

"Do love stories often end this way?" "Why do you think it`s over?" Shesheshen has made a fatal mistake for a monster: she`s fallen in love. Shesheshen is a shapeshifter, who usually resides as an amorphous lump in the swamp of a ruined manor, unless impolite monster hunters invade intent on murdering her. Through a chance encounter, she meets a different kind of human, warm-hearted Homily, who mistakes Shesheshen for a human in turn. Shesheshen is loath to deceive, but just as she`s about to confess her true identity, Homily reveals she`s hunting the shapeshifting monster that supposedly cursed her family. Shesheshen didn`t curse anyone, but to give them both a chance at happiness, she must figure out why Homily`s twisted family thinks she did. And the bigger challenge remains: surviving her toxic in-laws long enough to learn to build a life with the woman she loves. A glorious, funny, occasionally slightly violent love story which asks us to examine - and re-examine - the meaning of legacy, family and love.
