Brave New World Series • Amid The Clouds & Under The Woods • Marian Pattechat • ebook

A fantasy monster romance about supernatural apocalypse survivor Sue, who encounters an unknown monster. Will he try to eat her like the others who've taken over the world? Or does the tailed hunk have other, more pleasurable plans for the tough scientist?

Description (full version): It should have been a simple supply run: take the med kits and don’t get eaten by the monsters. Now I’m the one being taken, and the winged hunk plans to eat me. Out.

Having survived three apocalypses–as if one weren’t enough!–I knew how to stay alive in a world overrun by nightmarish monsters. Going on a supply run to my infested workplace should have been simple: go in, bag the meds, get out as fast as a cat from a bathtub.

Little did I know that what awaited me in that creepy building would be more than a gun-wielding scientist could handle. As in, an overbearing hunk sporting blue skin, bat wings, and a naughty tail, who would fly me off to an unknown destination despite my opinion on the matter. The jerk thought a toe-curling kiss would make it all better. The nerve.

Now I’m in a place beyond my wildest imagination, and going back to my community of survivors might prove more difficult than expected. Especially when I’m being seduced into staying.

I just might survive the apocalypse among beings thought to exist only in fantasy books. As long as I stop fantasizing about tasting their gorgeous leader’s silvery lips.

When the world was first overrun by monsters, I thought I didn’t stand a chance of surviving. Yet here I am, months into the supernatural apocalypse–a botanist still alive and kicking and… pruning. Who would have guessed that my knowledge of plants would make me valuable to forest-dwelling beings of the night? Tending their underground gardens is hard work, but I’m safe in their kingdom.

Until he shows up. One of their leaders, with looks that could kill and a task for me that just might. I have to follow him and his unconventional friends deeper into their world, where danger lurks behind every tree.

But am I focused on the risky task? No, I’m too busy imagining his muscled arms around me and his silvery lips brushing mine. Like a honeybee to a flower, I’m drawn to the enigmatic male my life depends on–and he might pose the greatest threat of all.
