A friends-to-lovers slow burn with the Loveland Frog
A fake dating scheme with a swamp monster
A butch/femme hookup with Sasquatch
A second-chance drama with the Michigan Dogman
And more fun trysts with your favorite creatures!
If you loved Legends and Lattes and That Time I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf, get ready to dust off your cryptozoology equipment and put on your cutest outfit—because monster lovers, misfits, and anyone who relates to cryptids will never want to leave this mountain town.
