Not Quite Beast. Not Quite, #2

At twenty-eight years old, Sam thought they were old enough to stop making terrible decisions. But taking a merc job for a human millionaire can't be described as anything else. Neither can drinking so much fairy moonshine that you forget there are good reasons not to let yourself think with your.parts. Hunting people is a whole different world than hunting supernatural beasts, and Sam and their guild might not come out on the winning side of this one.
When the goons Sam is hired to track down fight back with magic, it rapidly becomes apparent that Theo isn't telling the whole story about why people want him dead. Sam loses Fin and Emerson, and it takes drastic measures to get them back, including working with a bunch of assholes Sam knows better than to trust. And why the hell do Sam's most inconvenient shifter impulses choose now to kick in? Sometimes a half-human, half-monster, half-male, half-female fiend hunter just can't catch a break.. Author's Note:I love reverse harem, but I got sick of reading the same old tropes.
In my books you will find atypical characters and varied sexuality. In general, you probably won't find many alpha males or fainting females, and relationships may have a more poly feel. The Not Quite series is a harem/reverse harem urban fantasy series of novellas (between 35, 000-45, 000 words) and contains the following:*adult language, and lots of it*characters that don't necessarily fit mainstream ideas of beauty*moderate levels of violence/gore/action*graphic sexual situations*polyamory/ multiple lovers*LBGTQ and straight themes (the main character is intersex and will have both male and female lovers, and this is a harem, so expect M/F, M/M, F/F, MMMFF etc.)*as usual, my characters all have their own emotional scars.
This means the book MAY contain mentions of abuse, unpleasant situations, etc. Please do not read if you are triggered by things like this.*occasional "cliff-hangers" or lead-ins to the next book may occur, though generally at least one major plot arc shows completion or at the very least, forward progress.*word count does not include teaser chapters or other fluff material at the end.
