Description

Just out of college with no job and no useful connections, Ashwyn Fleetwood's not far off from having to move back in with her oppressive mother. So when she finds out that Elizabeth Jonathen Butler--the most renowned businesswoman and inventor alive--is hiring an assistant, she jumps at the chance to interview.

But E.J. Butler is more than Ash ever could have expected or imagined.More brilliant. More beautiful.More than human.

From the day of the interview forward, Ashwyn's irrevocably locked in E.J's increasingly perilous orbit. And the deeper in love she falls, the clearer it becomes that to survive in her love's monstrous world, she will have to become more than human herself.(I will be making major edits to every chapter of this story in the near future. This will involve totally replacing the content of all existing chapters on Wattpad and Inkitt as well as resubmitting the stories entirely to Scribblehub and RoyalRoad. If you're reading this story anywhere other than Wattpad, Inkitt, Scribblehub or Royal Road, you're reading a pirated version.)

This is a great story that has a feel to it that is not often found on Royal Road. It's an urban fantasy with a female lead, but it's a nice dark story too. We start out from the very first sentence realizing we're not in our world- mentions of a sigil, and then a pigeon-rat, which brings to mind grusome images. But there's a bit of grounding too. Cigarettes, and mentions of a shower.
(And here I just want to add that I love the cover. I know covers don't count for much sometimes on Royal Road, but this one should, because it's great)
I also get a neo-noir feel, which may be because of that awesome cover, but also how it's written. It's first person, which I have to say I usually do not like, but I like our main character. Ash is in some ways fresh-faced and new to the world, just finished up with college, and trying to get into the adult world.
And into the adult world she goes, meeting with E.J. a creature that is more than human.
This is also a lesbian/sapphic romance, which you also don't find much of here on RR.
Grammar is good, I see no issues there.
If you want a story that's different than what you find here a lot, I would recommend it.
