Rayna Clay hunts monsters. But it has never really been that simple, has it?

Anthropomorphic: a hardboiled detective/urban fantasy novel about ace people and the secret incubi/succubi crimes they investigate.

And the betrayal that could shatter a delicate peace forever.

Will the truth come out? Will Josh be able to step back from his obsession? Or will everything fall apart around him, driving him further into despair and making him feel like he has no choice but to proceed with his plan?

if perhaps he could forge his own life, find his own happiness, separate from his doppelganger.

It causes him to delay his plans, slightly, to spend more time with her. But even this tiny slice of happiness is built on a lie. 🧵

about his identity, pretending to be someone else entirely.

And over time, as Josh continues his surveillance, they begin to fall for each other. Though she is really only interested in the fictional version of himself he has created.

Still, for a moment, it is enough to make Josh wonder 🧵

If he could harden himself, care for nothing but his own advancement, everything would be so much easier.

The only thing holding him back is Cassie, a woman who works in at alternate Josh's company. Josh met her while in disguise, stalking his alternate self. To protect his cover, he lied to her 🧵

Once he makes the choice to kill his alternate self and replace him, it starts him down a dark path of corruption. He becomes slowly more cruel and irredeemable as he takes action to further his plans.

And perhaps that is what he wants. After all, caring for others has only ever held him back. 🧵

Josh is definitely going to change throughout the story. It will not be especially positive.

Having seen a glimpse of the life that could have been his, had his choices been different, Josh is consumed with the need to claim this life. No matter the cost. 🧵

Ooh I am on Setsune's track here. Those all sound delicious!

Aww Liam sounds like a very thoughtful guy! Would he like a gift that is more of an experience with someone? Like a nice meal or a trip somewhere?

Aww it seems poor Oakengrove is in for a rough time of it!

Yay! I love Spencer! 💕

Aww those all sound like lovely gifts and Skylar seems very thoughtful!

Charlie Delta (has been a ghost this whole time! 👻) @charliedeltawrites.bsky.social · 3h

I love the idea that Spencer just has a closet somewhere full of skull ornaments💀, that he thanked people for kindly then just sighed and added to the pile 😂

Wren will definitely find him something better!😁

Aww that is very thoughtful of him!

Charlie Delta (has been a ghost this whole time! 👻) @charliedeltawrites.bsky.social · 4h

That's really neat!

Charlie Delta (has been a ghost this whole time! 👻) @charliedeltawrites.bsky.social · 4h

Makes sense! I am picturing him with just a closet full of gloves he can go to, to get a last minute gift 😂

Charlie Delta (has been a ghost this whole time! 👻) @charliedeltawrites.bsky.social · 4h

Aww that's adorable! So when they exchange gifts, they give each other poisons, swords, and hugs? 🥰

Acts of service can be very good gifts!

Ooh funerary gifts for the dead is very interesting!

Aww poor Clay! I hope he gets something really nice in the future. Jack I can relate to, books are an excellent gift!

Charlie Delta (has been a ghost this whole time! 👻) @charliedeltawrites.bsky.social · 5h

Ooh very interesting! They sound very cool! Do most own many pairs of gloves? Would they have a specific meaning if gifted to a lady, or is it more that he shouldn't give ladies gifts at all?

Aww I love this snip!❤️ They are both trying their best, but she isn't good at sculpting and he isn't good at lying, 😂

Kena needs to learn the parent-with-a-little-kid's painting trick of saying it's great, then asking them to tell you more about it, so you can deduce out what they meant it to be 😂

That makes sense! This was Blake's grandmother?
