Pack of Lies (Monster Hunt, #1)

by Charlie Adhara

Until one morning Eli realized feeling okay had turned into the longest, most time-consuming passion of his life. Maybe it had been foolish to leave that behind. But a collection of good days makes a good life like the same short story over and over makes a good book.

“Look at us. Two open books.” “Sure. Except yours is written in code. And invisible ink. And has one of those paper snakes that pop out and scare the shit out of anyone who picks you up.”

“Look, I have a proposition for you.” “I accept. But you’ll have to take that shirt back off first. I don’t fuck people in flannel.”

God, the man was a natural born liar and it turned Eli on like nothing else.

“Why do I want to see you? Because you’re brilliant. Because you’re beautiful and strange and, well, sort of extraordinary, really. I thought so before I knew you were a wolf and I think it even more now. Because just being around you feels like, I don’t know, like I’m finally waking up.”
