Faun Over Me: A Sapphic Monster Romance (Camp Cryptid)

Avery Payne only needs one thing: to survive sixteen weeks as the Assistant Director of Elkwater Music Camp so she can finally chase her dreams at Carnegie Mellon. It is a simple plan for a human woman in an unconventional setting—the nation’s only music camp where humans and cryptids learn to play in harmony. But summer at Elkwater is rarely simple, especially when a whirlwind of curls and mischief crashes into her life. Enter Cricket, a faun on a desperate mission. She has arrived at the camp searching for a missing relative and hoping to protect her ancestral woodland home from greedy developers. With the roads sealed by harsh weather and her search hitting a dead end, Cricket finds herself entangled with the camp’s red-headed assistant director. What starts as a tense, forced proximity quickly ignites into something far more dangerous than just workplace friction. When a shadow begins stalking the grounds of Camp Cryptid, the pair must set aside their differences to uncover the dark secrets lurking beneath the land. Amidst the music and the mounting threats, Avery and Cricket discover that their unlikely partnership is becoming something truly feral. In the heart of the Georgia hills, the hunt for truth is about to be eclipsed by a wildfire of forbidden attraction.
