Love is beautiful, love is light, love is kind. Love grows from beauty and flourishes from radiance... right?
But what about darkness? Can love grow from shared fears, shared demons, shared pain?
When Austin and Dani, two people as flawed as they come, are introduced by their mutual friend Abbie, sparks fly.
But these are not the sparks of light and love -- these are sparks of pain and hate. So what happens when Austin and Dani realize they are both surrounded by the same demons, the same pain, living in the same messed up world where happiness seem to exist only to be crushed by a new sort of tragedy?
Will their scars bring them closer to the edge? Or love and a new life?

Monsters
They're falling in love with their best friends, but past trauma and current taboos have a way of making everything more complicated. Will they be able to heal from their pasts? Or will they always see themselves as monsters? This story can be read as a standalone, but it is the sequel to both Light in the Darkness and Hashbrown and Crow. *There will be darker themes in this story and sexual content. The main characters all suffered abuse and neglect in some form, and they will reference it throughout the story in one way or another. People cope with trauma differently, and I hope that I respectfully represent that while still telling a story that is romantic fiction. --Complete
