About this book
Mayor Clay Carlile has a secret that could destroy his political career: he is the legendary, winged Mothman of Mistwood. As election season heats up, the last thing he needs is a scandal, especially one involving the daughter of his fiercest rival. When Ava Pratt accepts an internship under the man her father despises, she hopes to bridge a generational gap. Instead, she finds herself drawn to the magnetic, mysterious Mayor, igniting a forbidden love that defies their families' bitter history.
This spicy paranormal romance masterfully weaves high-stakes politics with the irresistible tension of an enemies-to-lovers dynamic. Forced proximity strikes when a brutal snowstorm leaves the pair stranded in a single-bed motel room, stripping away the professional boundaries and revealing the raw, supernatural truth beneath Clay’s tailored suits. It is a cozy yet steamy exploration of whether two people from opposite sides of a town divide can embrace their true natures together.
Eden Crowe delivers a heartfelt, witty, and uniquely alluring shifter story that stands out in the Monsters of Mistwood series. Perfect for readers who crave creature-feature romance with a side of political intrigue, this tale proves that sometimes the biggest monsters are the ones we keep hidden, and the most dangerous risks are the ones worth taking.

There’s just something about the Monsters of Mistwood that just keeps getting better with each book, but Mingling with Mothman hit differently for me in the best way.

Once again Eden Crowe knocked it out of the park with this one. As a fellow West Virginian, this book had ALL the vibes that make me feel proud to be from this state, while also not glazing over the hardships that we face here. This book gives you all the warm and fuzzy feelings of a small town romance, but also sneaks in some interesting monster smut that had me googling how moths reproduce-- the more you know! Clay is our resident mothman and mayor of fictional Mistwood, West Virginia. Ava is...

The dynamic between Mayor Clay Carlisle and Ava Pratt is immediately engaging—equal parts forbidden romance and opposites-attract chemistry. The added tension of Ava’s father being Clay’s long-time political rival raises the stakes in a way that feels both...
