Come now, keep up, we have much to discuss before delving into the stories herein, and these woods are impatient. Please take a moment to read the Table of Contents page before each story should you have any trigger concerns. All warnings will be listed beneath the short story's title on the Table of Contents page. Additionally, should you think of any trigger warnings you believe ought to be included, I encourage you to leave them at the end of the chapter. I read every comment. That being said, dear, I want to make one thing very clear: I will only be providing trigger warnings for the worst of the worst. These are horror tales, after all. You can expect murder, maulings, and mayhem, but I will warn you before the terrors too real for some people, though only in the ToC. There will be no warnings at the start of the stories.

« WAM book two » Ada was tired of running. Yes, she was the one with the lockpicks who helped Sam the winter prior with her little key issue. It's one of the many bizarre, frankly illegal things she's good at. It would take a long time to explain it all, but suffice it to say she helped Charles and Jocelyn, twins six years her senior, steal a lot of shit. She grew tired of it, though, and after some planning with Detective Hillebrandt, she gave her siblings a tip and made sure there was tangible evidence on the two for a search warrant to be executed the following morning to uncover. It was supposed to be in the bag. She did everything right. Some clerical error led to the warrant being thrown out before it even reached court, along with the entire case. Charles and Jocelyn walked, but Ada was already running by then. So, it's back to square one. She's up to her eyeballs in werewolf politics, trying to be the perfect girlfriend while planning the biggest heist of her life in a last ditch effort to put her greedy siblings behind bars, for good this time. ‎ ‎ [ THIS BOOK CONTAINS: profanity, violence, death, suggestive content (steamy), drug & alcohol use ] ◇ Length: 107,000 words ◇ We Are Monsters Series: - We Are Monsters - Magic Tricks - Dishonoured - a WAM novella - Moon Magic

A nice monster, but no less dangerous. She thinks the same of her own friends, so close they're nearly family. She didn't ask for this life, it was forced upon her one frigid winter evening. As it turned out, she owed her life to a pair of curious children, smart enough to shout for help as Sam lie beneath the beast, drenched in her own blood. She didn't ask for it, but it's hers nonetheless. So she embraces her inner monster and uses it to hunt down the very one that turned her. To bring him in safely or to end him war in her mind. She longs for vengeance, but can't hurt his brother. In all this chaos, Sam has one rock, in Ada. An enigma-or as her best friend, Charlotte, put it once, a cryptid-Ada knocks her off her feet and then keeps her tantalizingly close to the truth of her cagey history. If not for Ada, the drive to bring down her attacker would be all consuming. She would like to think she's better than murder, but is she really?
