Thea would say she "Isn't like other girls," if the phrase wasn't so disgustingly trendy. With a personality more salty than the Dead Sea itself, the attractive allure of a cactus, a peculiar hatred for feminist self-victimhood, and occasionally accidentally (as in totally on purpose) insults people, she is perhaps more old man than teenager. Now, taking Thea as she is and relocating her to a cliche, isolated town in Washington with supernatural creatures and a stereotypical high school makes for a rather interesting mix. Thea's perception of reality takes an insulting dive into uncertainty as the wannabe Sherlock Holmes discovers there is more to life than crappy parents, classic rock, and the TV show Supernatural. Stay tuned as Thea comes rifle barrel-to-snout in this epic journey to survive senior year, mythical creatures, and Feelings(TM). ~ ~ ~ Subscribe to TheAllieL Patreon for exclusive stories and content not featured on Wattpad and to support future works and book publishing! - Free Subscriber Tier - Allie's Library - Tier 1 - $2/month - Allie's Journal - Tier 2 - $5/month Subscribe here: Patreon.com/TheAllieL
