Not Quite Human - Not Quite, #1 - E-book - ePub

Not quite human, not quite beast. Not quite female, not quite male. Sometimes hunter, sometimes prey. Always alone. Until them. Fiend hunter Sam "Sabertooth" Forest is used to being on the outskirts. A cur with a mix of shifter and human blood, Sam can't fully shift to beast but can't fully pass as human. Through sheer determination, and a desire to protect the broken shifter woman who raised them, Sam has managed to eek out a place of their own in a world devastated by the rift that allowed monsters to spill into the Earth plane.
Sam hunts monsters--sometimes curs and mongrels just like Sam. The work might be dangerous, and the humans might want to put the mixed breed hunter on their hitlist, but it's a job. It's freedom. Sam works alone and trusts no one. The next hunt should bring in a big bounty-big enough to pay the pack extortion fee and keep Sam's adoptive mother safe through winter. But when a Leprechaun horns in on Sam's unicorn hunt and tricks Sam into forming a hunter's guild, Sam is suddenly burdened by an overabundance of people.
Setting off to hunt one-horned murder beasts with an annoying leprechaun and a nerdy half-ogre is bad enough. But when you add in a betrayal by the seductive siren Sam has loved since childhood, and the machinations of a rich human politician, well.Sam's simple, lonely little life just got a whole lot more complicated. 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. 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 may not 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. Short description:Sam is a broken mixed-breed, unable to fully shift and always trapped halfway between human and monster, male and female, hunter and prey. This hunt should bring in a big bounty. But when a Leprechaun and a half-ogre horn in on the unicorn hunt and trick Sam into forming a hunter's guild, Sam is suddenly burdened by an overabundance of people.
