White made her mark with the Paranormalcy series, which quickly established her as a fresh voice in the young adult fantasy world. The series, which blends paranormal creatures with humor and heart, centers around Evie, a fierce yet relatable heroine who works as a monster-hunter and juggles the complexities of relationships, identity, and saving the world. But it’s not just the action-packed plotlines that make White’s work stand out—it’s her ability to delve into the emotional lives of her characters. Whether writing about teen angst or the complexities of friendship, Kiersten brings her characters to life with a depth that’s often missing in genre fiction.

In her later works, including the And I Darken trilogy and The Camelot Betrayal, White shifted to historical fantasy, reimagining history through the lens of the fantastical. With And I Darken, she brings to life a fierce, bold, and sometimes brutal reimagining of Vlad the Impaler’s story, with the main character, Lada, as a strong-willed, complex female lead. Her world-building in this series is rich and immersive, where battles, power struggles, and unflinching survival intersect with themes of gender, power, and self-determination.

White’s ability to tackle such varied genres—paranormal, historical, and mythological—shows her versatility as an author. She blends sharp dialogue, compelling character arcs, and bold ideas, challenging readers to reconsider what they know about the world and about themselves.

Her books have resonated with readers of all ages, particularly young adults, who find in her characters a sense of belonging, a sense of rebellion, and a voice that is unapologetically their own. White’s writing is as sharp and surprising as the twists she weaves into her narratives, making it no surprise that her books have become beloved favorites.

As Kiersten herself puts it, “I want to create books where readers feel both challenged and seen.” And it’s this balance of empathy and challenge that keeps readers coming back to her work, eager to see where her imagination will take them next.
