Mostly Shattered (Merely Mortal #2) by Michelle M. Pillow
Unrated

Fall deep into book two of the spellbinding new first-person POV romantic urban fantasy series by NY Times and USA Today bestselling author Michelle M. Pillow.

Torn between the life I want… and the one I can’t escape…

I’m the mortal outcast in a powerful magical family, torn between a normal life and the relentless pull of the supernatural world. The man I love doesn’t remember me. My adopted brother’s ghost haunts me at every turn. And my uncle? He’s determined to marry me off to the worst supernatural suitor imaginable.

Then there’s Costin—a dangerously seductive master vampire who insists I’m part of an ancient prophecy. He’s magnetic, deadly, and makes me feel like prey. Yet, resisting him might be the hardest battle of all.

As my mortal life blurs with the supernatural, family secrets unravel, alliances are tested, and dark forces close in. The clock is ticking, and I have a choice: accept my destiny or risk losing everything. But can I rise to face what’s hunting me… before it’s too late?

Will I claim my destiny or be consumed by the dark forces hunting me?

Perfect for fans of urban fantasy, paranormal romance, supernatural mysteries, forbidden love, enemies-to-lovers, power struggles, and heart-stopping twists. This is a must-read for anyone craving more than a little danger in their love stories.

Michelle M. Pillow

Michelle M. Pillow’s imagination has always moved beyond the ordinary, crafting worlds where magic, romance, and adventure intertwine seamlessly. Born in Belleville, Kansas, she carried a fascination for the unknown into her studies at Fort Hays State University, earning a degree in History and English, later complementing it with photography from the New York Institute of Photography. These early explorations of storytelling and imagery laid the foundation for the vivid, immersive narratives that define her work.

Since her debut in 2004, Pillow has become a prolific presence in paranormal romance, fantasy, and science fiction, with over 100 novels that transport readers from the star-spanning battles of the Qurilixen World to the enchanting streets of Scotland in the Warlocks MacGregor series. Her Order of Magic series introduces midlife heroines discovering their powers, blending self-discovery with romance and a touch of humor, while her dragon shifter sagas weave together love, danger, and epic adventure across galaxies.

Pillow’s writing resonates because it balances intricate world-building with emotional depth. Characters face challenges that feel both fantastical and real, navigating love, loyalty, and identity in settings that are as richly detailed as they are imaginative. Her work has attracted praise from readers and fellow authors alike, and she has been recognized with support from institutions like the Mississippi Arts Commission for her contributions to contemporary paranormal fiction.

Beyond the page, Pillow remains deeply connected to her readers, often sharing glimpses into her creative process and the worlds she builds. Her stories are not just escapism, they are invitations to experience romance, magic, and adventure from the inside, and they have firmly established her as a leading voice in contemporary speculative fiction.
