About this ebook

A gripping new first-person POV urban fantasy romance series by NY Times and USA Today bestselling author, Michelle M. Pillow. The series is complete and ready to binge!


All I want is a simple, normal life.


Unfortunately, normalcy is a luxury I can't afford as a lowly human born into a powerful supernatural family embroiled in magic. They've always been quick to remind me that I have an expiration date. Imagine everyone's surprise when it’s me standing above their graves, not the other way around.


The fire that took their lives wasn't my fault, yet everyone is blaming me, especially the vampires. Now I have a target on my back and a bounty on my head. Without the protection of my family, I’m caught up in a tangled web of supernatural dynasties and arcane power struggles.


So when a handsome stranger and his young daughter take pity on me and offer me a ride, I don’t say no. It’s a mistake. One I hope doesn’t cost us all our lives.


Sometimes, being merely mortal really sucks.


The series is complete and ready to binge!


Prepare for an exhilarating journey of magic, power struggles, and forbidden love like never before! Inspired by the author’s short novella, Merely Mortal. (Inspired by, but completely different!) This book ends on a cliffhanger, but don’t fret, look for book two: Mostly Shattered. Perfect for fans of Carrie Vaughn, Faith Hunter, Jennifer Estep, Lindsay Buroker, Ilona Andrews, and K.F. Breene.

Tamara is a human living, protected by her immortal family until they all die. On the run, she travels with a father and small child while being attacked by vampires. The author tries to give the reader Tamara's thoughts. Unfortunately, that leaves the reader in a deluge of whining. It was hard to believe Tamara is 28 yrs old. She is naive and oblivious to what is right in front of her. The story could have been shorter, if it was not so repetitive and over descriptive.

Loved the mythology, the sexy falling in love, and the twists and turns. Tamara drew me into her crazy life from the beginning. She’s so innocent, in a way. She knows about the supernaturals, but doesn’t push to get involved with them. She loves her family even though they neglect her. And then her life turns upside down. The wild dangerous trip does not end the way I expected it, but with open doors to so much more wild craziness. And maybe some love. I voluntarily reviewed this Booksprout.

First off, my ratings. 1 for no. 2 for meh. 3 for good. 4 for I love it. 5 for forever want to keep it in my collection and keep re-reading it. In the past the best rating I have given for a book by this author has been a 3. This book is the best one I have liked so far. I enjoyed reading it. I realized who was against the mfc very early on, but I think we were ment to and it didn't spoil the story. Even the cliffhanger (which we were told there was one in the book blurb) was interesting, it will be exciting to see how the next book turns and twists. I recommend this one. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
