My Ex and Other Monsters

A quirky teen romcom about the monstrous consequences of falling in love! 10 Things I Hate About You meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer for fans of Lynn Painter.

Indie Reynolds has perfected the art of cool, calm and uninterested. When a casual family curse means that everyone you fall in love with turns into a literal monster when you get close to them, shutting down that part of your brain becomes kind of a necessity.

That’s why Indie makes sure that any relationships she has stays positively un­-serious. And it’s why she can’t risk falling for her new colleague Max, even if he does have endless charm and a perfect jawline.

But when sparks start flying between them, Indie realises that feelings don’t always do what they’re told. Can she find a way to finally let someone get close to her, or will the consequences be too monstrous?
