Claimed by the Cthulhu
by Wendi Guff
Book 2 in Monstrous Meet Cutes
A marine biologist accidentally grabs a cthulhu at monster speed dating. Exactly as unhinged as it sounds, but underneath the absurdist humor is a surprisingly tender story about two people processing trauma together. Creative monster worldbuilding and genuinely inventive spice.
