Mythos Unbound (Shadow Kin Chronicles Book 1) - Paperback

by Shayla Morgansen (Author)

"You believe in monsters, Bryant?"
"There's no such thing, sir; however, 'monster' is a very useful word, socio-culturally speaking."
"You might change your stance after a few weeks here in Violent Crimes."

Finn Bryant lectures in mythology by day and moonlights as a supernatural hunter, tracking the glamoured 'Shadow Kin' he alone sees walking among us. Ghouls, vampires and other monsters have come for him since before he can remember, and he's spent his life learning how to take them down - before they can get to him or his beloved found family.

Evie Bryant doesn't see the supernatural in her line of work, profiling serial killers for the FBI. Her brother's fascination with folklore feels a world away from Evie's reality of violent crime scenes and broken lives, even if it's been noted more than once that her talent for reading people is a little... eerie.

When a series of brutal murders with a mythological overtone prompts Evie to consult with Finn on a case, the siblings find themselves hunting the same killer. Evie will do anything to distance her brother from her work, but Finn can't walk away from this one. But whose monster is it? And what might it cost these siblings to find out?

"The writing style and the unfolding of the plot reminded me so much of supernatural crime shows like Penny Dreadful and The X-Files with the same level of intrigue and maturity... I didn't realise how badly I needed to read this!"
