About this ebook

Imagine a world filled with human-animal hybrids.

They're stronger than us. Faster. More deadly and hungry. Always hungry.

Now, step inside the laboratory and witness their creation.

Created as weapons. Designed to obey.

No one expected them to want revenge.

This is Mutter's story.

For the first time in his life he's afraid.

Afraid of the shots his new master is giving him.

Afraid that if he doesn’t escape, he’ll become food for one of the creatures in the nearby cages or worse...

He'll become one of them.

Book one in the Chimera Chronicles is a stand-alone dystopian, genetic engineering story about human-animal hybrids. It’s urban fantasy/science fiction that’ll make you question who the real monsters are. Whether you’re an animal rights activist or just love your pets, this book will make you root for those in the laboratory.

Ratings and reviews

Ok, I'll say this. This was probably the strangest love story I've ever read and yet it literally brought tears to my eyes. Ironically, now I want to know if Mutter is able to get revenge and whether or not there is any kind of justice for him and Sweet. Who would've thought something like this would've caught my imagination and piqued my interest? Certainly not me.

This is a unique book. Kinda like the island of Dr. Moreau, but from the viewpoint of the experimented upon creatures. The world building is fantastic. The characters are unique and original. I love this book. I look forward to reading more stories in this fantastic world. I would highly recommend this book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

honestly this is one of the best books I've read so far ...aside of all of the weird killing and feeding the creatures servants this was so heart touchy and made me cry a bit #Mutter & Sweet forever
