Why we recommend it
The Rycke is the monster — Mayne writes the dark paranormal with a creature whose name is also his identity and whose attention is entirely unwanted until it isn't. The Rycke is not human and doesn't pretend to be, and the love story that forms around that honesty is the kind this subgenre does best.
