I just finished Sarah E. Seeley's book, Maladaptive Bind, and I must say that I enjoyed the read! I don't want to give away too much of the story for those who haven't read it, but I was particularly interested in the internal conflict of the main character.
Angela (the protagonist) is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly known as LDS or Mormons. As a member of this church myself, it was very interesting to be in Angela's point of view as she encounters a darkness that she had never imagined and struggles with her desire to embrace it but at the same time push it away. A huge part of the struggle involves her own physical transformation into something she considers a monster and the emotions and desires that accompany the physical change.
I mean, it's difficult enough at times to obey God's commandments as a normal human being. So what would happen if our bodies changed yet again, bringing with them a change in needs and a changed mindset? How much more difficult would it be to control our actions and our emotions? You can't help but sympathize with her as she battles within herself to live as she did before.
It was definitely worth the read!
You can get it in paperback or on your kindle at Amazon:
