Damaged Gods by JA Huss writing as KC Cross Publication date: July 27th 2021 Genres: Paranormal/Monster Romance When I answered an ad for a caretaker at Saint Mark’s Sanctuary I thought I’d be dusting chandeliers and polishing floors. I didn’t expect to be tricked into a curse, going in debt to a monster, and being forced to take a self-paced “Let’s Learn Magic” course so I can fix a two-thousand-year-old problem. And that monster? Not your ordinary, everyday beast. He has hooves, and horns, and fur on his legs. But ya know where he doesn’t have fur? Yep. There. Which is fine. Except he doesn’t wear pants.
