I was just a kid when my family was executed for starting a magical war, forcing me to live my life in the human world, far away from the judgment and scorn of the magical world—and far away from the weirdos who want me to tell them all my dangerous Lovell family secrets. But when a cursed grimoire containing enslaved magical beings falls into my lap, I can't continue to avoid my family's craptastic legacy of pain and suffering. Now, thanks to the nagging of an annoyingly moral ghost, I'm off to free the powerful (and pissed-off) creatures in the bestiary.
I'm nothing like my horrible family. But my newfound attraction to dangerous magical beings who could murder me without a thought… yeah, that might indicate otherwise.
Author's Note
This story is part of my serial, The Bestiary, on Kindle Vella. It is part of an ongoing series, and I will continue to release new books as the story progresses. A Cursed Legacy is 141,000 words long. The major plot arc is resolved, however since this is a series, a new complication is introduced at the end of the book, so expect a little twist/cliffy. If you are interested in reading book 2 as I write it, you can find it on Vella. Season 2/Book 2 starts on episode 43. You can also read along on my Patreon page.

Do you like romance stories with a bit more variety? I write outside the box, inclusive, trope-smashing, paranormal romance, usually involving poly relationships (because #whychoose) and with actual character development. Most also include LGBTQIA+ elements. And snark. I live in Michigan with a houseful of demonic furballs and am still waiting for my own personal call to adventure or fae abduction. (The hot kind of fae, not the dance ‘til you die sort).
