Threading Carefully by Ashlynn Mills is the first in the Monster Match series, a collab project by a bunch of writers all in the same supernatural universe. I read a few of them last year, so I'm gonna read more this year, and review the two I've already read now.
Nova is a Frankenstein-type monster, made up of the corpses of other people, held together with thread. His first "master" was his creator, who was a really bad person, but that's not the important part. He's on his own, looking for new friends and a chance to go to the human world.
Frank is a human doctor with an interest in the healing properties of things from the monster world. He also doesn't have a lot of friends and just got dumped, I think. And since he's a physical doctor who's handled injured humans a lot, he's already got practice stitching people up. Plus, Nova thinks he's really cute.
There's a secondary plot about Frank's best friend dating a guy trying to sabotage relations between the monster world and human world, but really what you're here to read is Nova and Frank being cute together. And Frank thinks he's straight in the beginning, but he really goes for Nova, so I guess you're Bi, Frank!
Fluff and smut aside, this is a good introduction to the Monster Match series, and I liked it so much, that I read book 2, which I'll add the review later.
