No Such Thing As Monsters

Rosie has spent her lifetime not believing in monsters. She's a scientist by nature-open-minded, but a cynic at heart, with a ledger of things to prove to everyone who doubts her. She's not above a bit of dubious fun, though, especially if Devon, her best friend and lifelong love, asks. When a night at the circus ends in the fortune-teller's tent, Rosie guzzles a potion named Familiar to prove a point-and everything she thought she knew about the natural world starts unravelling. Beginning with Raum La Roux. Large, cantankerous, intimidating-and, according to him, bound to her until Rosie chooses someone for him to kill. Suddenly, monsters don't seem so far-fetched. She resists Raum's dangerous pull, but when the magic demands a price, Rosie must choose the shape of the monster she becomes. Set against a vintage 1920s backdrop of gritty realism and eerie enchantment, No Such Thing As Monsters is a psychological fantasy about power, consent, and the monsters we make of each other.
