Monsters aren’t just in your nightmares.

Sometimes, they’re the people you love most.

I’m Lily Dean, and I hunt monsters.

Vamps, ghouls, demons. I’ll slay them all. Each kill gets me closer to finding the monsters who killed my parents and stole my future.

When a new job comes up to exorcise a ghost haunting the honeymoon suite at an old hotel, I know it’s connected to what happened to me five years ago.

But there’s only one problem. Okay, make that three problems.

Jackson, Orion, and Brooks. The Bellua brothers – the best hunters in the business. We grew up next door to each other. We used to be best friends. Before they betrayed me.

And now, they’re after my kill.

There’s only one way I can get the answers I need.

I have to team up with my enemies.

Sometimes, to kill a monster, you have to become one…

Supernatural fans will love this dark and spicy monster-hunting reverse harem series by bestselling authors Katie May and Steffanie Holmes – featuring a badass heroine with a crossbow and an axe to grind, three possessive brothers with secrets to protect, enemies-to-lovers vibes, only one bed, and a dark shadow that threatens to destroy them all…

Katie May

Katie May never set out to be a writer, but life had a way of steering her in that direction. Initially pursuing a path in political science and legal studies, she found herself unexpectedly drawn to storytelling, starting with a simple bet with her sister. That playful wager turned into The Darkness We Crave, her debut novel, which she self-published in 2018. To her surprise, the book quickly gained traction, becoming a hit in the indie author community after being promoted by a fellow author.

From that moment, Katie's passion for writing was ignited, and she dove headfirst into the world of fiction, eventually penning over 60 books across more than 25 series. Known for blending paranormal romance, fantasy, and contemporary fiction, Katie’s works often feature fierce, multi-dimensional female protagonists, unconventional relationship dynamics, and the kind of humor that lingers long after the book is closed. Her series, including Afterworld Academy, The Damning, and Darkest Flames, are beloved for their emotionally charged narratives, steamy reverse harem romances, and complex characters who refuse to fit into neat boxes.

Katie’s approach to storytelling is refreshingly candid and bold. She’s not afraid to explore taboo subjects or push the limits of genre conventions, which has earned her a devoted fan base. Her books often explore themes of self-discovery, love that defies expectations, and the chaos and beauty of human relationships. With a knack for creating rich, immersive worlds and deeply relatable characters, Katie has made a significant mark on the indie fiction scene, solidifying her place as a USA Today bestselling author.

When she’s not writing, you can find Katie indulging in her love of horror movies or enjoying a cup of coffee while connecting with her readers through her newsletter and social media. It’s clear that writing isn't just her career—it's a passion that runs deep, fueling her journey and her connection to the fans who adore her stories. Whether you’re a long-time reader or new to her worlds, Katie May’s books promise to take you on an unforgettable ride full of magic, romance, and adventure.
