Marshall: I’ve lived a carefully cultivated life on a quiet suburban cul-de-sac. My anonymity and meticulous routine are all by design. No one knows of the monster that lurks inside me, this insatiable urge to commit murder, that thrives just beneath my pastel sweater vests and buttoned-up demeanor.

No one, that is, until my tiny menace of a neighbor comes along and ruins everything.

Felix Finley and I have nothing in common. He’s small and pretty, all friendly chatter and soft features, fair skin and pearly sharp teeth. He’s intriguing and I hate it, loathe him entirely. Definitely don't want to kiss his stupid, gorgeous lips.

But late one night, when I witness him dragging a lifeless corpse from his home and across his front lawn, I wonder if maybe Felix and I have more in common than I thought. Maybe Felix Finley needs my help, my expertise, and this is my time to shine. He’s batty and wicked in a way I never expected. Because I may have lived years of cautiously concealed truths, but in the wake of Felix’s pouty lips and sad eyes, I’m tempted to spill every secret at his feet. And that thought alone, is more terrifying than any monster.


Marshall is such a sassy thing. I love that he is huge and a scary killer and all of that. But he's also so petty and sassy and kind of dainty when it comes down to it. When things are not going his way, no one is happy. Especially Marshall. And I love him.

Felix is tiny and flighty and wants to be admired. And Marshall is so very good at admiring him. Some might call it stalking, but Felix is down for that. I like the way they balance one another. Felix somehow makes Marshall more human. And Marshall does the same for him. And they're adorable. Also, you've got to love a bit of size difference.
