And so far, it’s worked to the advantage of the family business. Some people like to run off their stress, some people listen to rain. From then on, the plot begins as she descends into a dark path where rules are loosened and morals painted gray. It’s kind of a family business, until Nita gets into trouble. Our main character, Nita, was raised by a mother that hunts down these terrifying unnaturals, leaving her to dissect them and sell on the black market. Some of them are benign, such as fluffy dacts that are kept as pets, while some are dangerous, such as unicorns that suck the souls of virgins or kappas that eat human organs.

Schaeffer brings readers into a tantalizing world where supernatural beings called unnaturals roam the earth and are mistrusted by the rest of the humans. Now she’s going to do a lot of bad deeds to get it all back. Nita did a good deed, and it cost her everything.

Now Nita is on the other side of the bars, and there is no line she won’t cross to escape and make sure no one can ever capture her again.

Nita just dissects the bodies after they’ve been “acquired.” But when her mom brings home a live specimen, Nita decides she wants out - dissecting living people is a step too far.īut when she tries to save her mother’s victim, she ends up sold on the black market in his place - because Nita herself is a supernatural being. Nita doesn’t murder supernatural beings and sell their body parts on the internet-her mother does that.
