Human Disasters

In The Ocean Doesn’t Forgive, Commander Puzzles delivers a gripping exploration of shipwreck survival that goes far beyond disaster narratives. Blending maritime psychology, documented survival patterns, and the extreme realities of open-water exposure, this powerful work reveals what the sea teaches...

She wanted the greenest, grumpiest monster on the menu. 💚🧌🍽 Clara joined Monster Dating Agency for one reason only: to piss off her monster-hating father with a single fake date.

A growl that makes her knees go soft. One fake date. One family dinner. With an...

She wanted no horns, no fur, and absolutely no dairy. 🚫🐮🥛 Ellie signed up for Monster Dating Agency as a joke, a late-night dare after one too many dead-end dates and an empty pint of salted caramel.

And the owner of Udder Delights, a gourmet ice cream shop where the premium milk comes straight from... him. Three days. One shy minotaur. And a dating trial she never meant to ...
