OK, so I'm new here at Tapas, I'm crap at promoting my Novel, but here I am trying anyway. It's a long slow burn (150k words) so bare with me, but it has some really likable characters and strong world-building. ( I think so anyway! ^^') If I just get one reader to feedback I would die of gratitude!
Yosuke wakes up with no memories in a world where being Enhanced—genetically modified "better" than human—just got cancelled. Clinics are shut down, the new president wants Enhanced kids rounded up, and Yosuke's only refuge is Greenwode Institution, a boarding school where freaks like him try to pass as normal.
Problem is, Yosuke can't figure out what normal even means. His dream job is cutting sale stars at Miller's grocery, he dreams he's cake, and keeps getting bullied for the weird bird-like quirks that made sense in his missing past.
His guides to teenage life aren't helping:
Leon, a drummer burned badly by the last Enhanced guy he got close to, and Erik, a Swedish class president who swears he's nothing like his Regulator father—even as he gets shadier by the day.
Yosuke also discovers he likes both boys in ways that definitely aren't normal. And that feathers burst through his skin when he's excited or miserable, which happens a lot around Leon's stupid-pretty face and Erik's controlling hands.
Then a student turns up dead, and investigating the murder reveals why Yosuke shares a face with the world's most famous pop star—and why what lives inside him is valuable enough to kill for.
A queer supernatural thriller about being the wrong kind of different in a world that wants you erased.
