Unfortunate Creatures: a heart-ripping standalone gothic fantasy crossover novel

How far would you go to bring back the one you love?

Eighteen-year-old Crissa Blackwood is mourning the brutal death of her soulmate, Emres Trovic.

Surrounded by university students obsessed with the discovery of a rare element with magical potential, Crissa challenges her wealthy rival and his friends to a competition in a remote mansion to perform the most daring magical act they can - anything to get her hands on the element. Because Crissa has one motive: bring her soulmate back to life.

Having stolen Emres' heart from his freshly buried corpse, she has five days to build him a body and tap into the element. But as the experiments grow bolder, strange and grisly things start happening around the house. The building's enigmatic and handsome resident, Loren, seems to know more about what's going on than he's letting on and understands Crissa better than anyone - except Emres.

But when the group is gruesomely attacked, Crissa faces the ultimate choice: resurrect her lost love, or save her friends but risk losing Emres forever . . .
