Summary
Oh, I have butterflies in my stomach!
That’s just what people say when they’re excited.
Everyone does.
Martin had never liked the idea of butterflies, living, breathing, twitching, fluttering, beautiful insects, making their homes in a digestive tract, whose very purpose is to dissolve. To cocoon its contents, reducing the encased to their basic nutrients, their basic minerals, their primordial gunk.
He used to have butterflies fluttering about his stomach. He used to think it was cute, too.
Now he has butterflies fluttering in his stomach. He doesn’t think it’s so cute anymore.

Summary
Martin takes a deep breath, closes his eyes, and says, “I may have … met a god?”
Sasha blinks at him. “Is that a metaphor, or…?”
Softly, Martin says, “Their name is Jon.”
.
In a historical-esque fantasy world with gods and humans, Martin, a human who works as a librarian and bookbinder, stumbles across a temple full of books and meets Jon, a god of knowledge who’s taken an interest in Martin and wants to get to know him. Martin splits his time between working at the village library alongside Sasha, who’s suspicious of where all the new books are coming from, searching for a cure for his terminally ill mother who seems to dislike him no matter what he does, and visiting the temple to read books and tell stories with Jon. As he spends more and more time with Jon, Martin begins to realize how wonderful it is—but also how difficult it can be—to fall in love with a god.

Summary
Once he finishes moving his mum into her new care home on the Essex seaside, Martin doesn't know what he's going to do with himself. Who is he, if not a caretaker? Just a guy with two jobs, one empty flat, and zero friends.
He doesn't expect to find meaning in the shallows of the North Sea.
He also doesn't expect to meet a mermaid, but hey. Life is nothing if not unpredictable.

Summary
He’s heard the stories. He knows his mother wouldn’t take another step on land if she could help it, not anymore. It took a long time for him to feel comfortable walking alone on the beach without anticipating torches and pitchforks at his first footfall, skin-thieves and scoundrels looking to steal him away.
Martin’s supposed to avoid humans, but he’s never been great at resisting temptation. In the aftermath of a dreadful storm, he finds himself and his sealskin coat trapped in the home of his mysterious human crush, Jon.
Navigating treacherous waters of injury, confusion, and a budding relationship, Martin feels adrift — more like Jon than he knows — yet, together, in the most unexpected of places, with the most unexpected of people, they find themselves.

Summary
Gerard's been a vampire for five years. The isolation was starting to get to him; the perpetual loneliness, the never ending misery- all of it- and he was becoming increasingly wary of letting anyone else know that.
On his way back home one night, he passes by the house of a man he plans to make his next feed and stops by every night for six months to watch him. As you can probably imagine, this can only go poorly because, as it turns out, Gerard's a lot more human than he thought.Series

Summary
After having killed Jonah Magnus and ended the Change, Jon and Martin should finally be able to rest. Rest, however, proves impossible when Jon falls ill. What's more, he begins having vivid dreams of their dead friends - Tim, trapped in the destroyed Archives, and Sasha, trapped outside of them. As Jon's condition quickly worsens and the line between dream and reality begins to blur, love is all he and Martin have to hold on to, because hope is a dangerous thing.
