What happens when a twenty-three-year-old woman stumbles into a world of magick, mystery, and one ridiculously hot, broody hero?

She breaks all the rules, obviously.

Woman sitting on a black cushioned chair reading a book, with a stack of more books under her feet, by a window with sheer curtains and orange drapes, in a warmly lit room.
A paper with the text 'about Kristin' in cursive font, surrounded by colorful flowers on a black background.

Kristin is a #1 NYT and #1 USA Today bestselling author with over 30 million books in print.

She is proudly neurodivergent (ASD + OCD) and deeply consumed by character-driven chaos, emotionally vulnerable heroes, and smart, sexy heroines who always get the last word and the hot guy. When she’s not writing, you’ll find her devouring thriller, horror, and romance novels, practicing witchcraft, and being the exact kind of unhinged that makes group chats worth opening.
