What’s next in the world of the shadowkind? Check out Pack of Outcasts, set in Rollick’s shadowkind school several years after it was established. It brings a whole lot of grumpy/sunshine, monster delinquent goodness, starting withMisfit Monsters…
Misfit Monsters (Pack of Outcasts #1)
Three delinquent monsters with fearsome powers. One girl made of pure sunshine. Can she save this team of misfits?
My past? Let's just pretend it never happened. All I want is to spread enough joy to make up for the pain I've caused.
So it'd be nice if my unexplainable powers would stop going haywire.
When I start blitzing my fellow monsters as well as mortals, the authorities of the supernatural world give me a final chance to avoid banishment.
I’ve got to join three monstrous criminals on a dangerous mission no one wants to take. Strange creatures are attacking innocent humans, and we have to stop their rampage.
It’s up to me, a frigid winter fae, a brutal basilisk shifter, and a chaotic kitsune to figure out what’s gone wrong—and fix it. Which would be a lot easier if my teammates didn’t see me as a ditzy pipsqueak.
And if they weren’t so distractingly, deliciously handsome.
Um, don’t tell them I said that part.
I’m sure my cheerful optimism will win them over so we can get home in one piece. That is, as long as I don’t blow us all up along the way...

MISFIT MONSTERS
1
Today will be a good day! Today, I won’t kill anyone.
I chant my mantra to myself as I slink through the shadows, invisible to the mortal beings on the city street around me. With every iteration, I squeeze my conviction a little tighter.
It has to be true. I’m going to make it true, and there’s no arguing with that.
All I have to do is take it easy-peasy. No situations that could turn traumatic or overwhelm me. I’ve totally got this.
Hunger prickles through my filmy body like the jabs of a hundred really annoying needles. But that’s okay too. The ache gave me an excuse to come here.
There’s nowhere I’d rather be than the mortal realm… even if somehow things always go wrong.
Nope, not thinking about that. Stuff those memories in a trash bag and throw them away. This is a brand-new start!
And it’s a beautiful day for my most recent brand-new start. Beyond the patches of shadow I flit through, the sun beams down over the strolling humans. Its warmth stirs enough contentment in them for the emotion to touch me too.
Childish laughter carries from the next street over. I taste the edge of their joy, bright and shimmery like fizzy lemonade.
Mmm, delicious.
The needles of hunger jab deeper, and I pause. Yep, totally in control. I won’t rush or leap before I look this time.
