Dark, romance-tinged speculative fiction for restless minds

Dystopian sci-fi meets dark urban fantasy

Soft sci-fi meets dark urban fantasy in a near-future dystopia that may be closer than we’d like to admit. Expect morally gray women, high-stakes worlds, and slow-burn romances - often dark and sapphic.

Stories for those who understand that monsters have reasons.

Obsession

that rewrites your DNA

Power

that corrupts beautifully

Love

that asks impossible things
For those who feel at home in the darkness and tend to fall for the villain.

It’s full of compelling female characters, each as complex as the last. Gwen is frustrating and reckless, but you can’t help but root for her to save the people closest to her. Lucaya is a delicious, sexy villain. It’s hard to not fall head-over-heels for her. Elena is the best cinnamon roll.
— Goodreads review
I loved this book! I’m not a big sci-fi reader, but I enjoy dystopian stories, and Shadow Girl is really a perfect balance between the two. The sci-fi concepts weren’t above my head and the commentary on modern society was thought-provoking (if not a punch in the gut! ). A book for thinkers and for those not satisfied with the status quo.
