Description

Abigail is not afraid of anything in particular. She’s just… afraid. All the time. Of everything and everyone. She weaves wild stories to explain her state of perpetual anxiety to the people around her, preferring they treat it as a joke than treat her as a neurotic freak. It’s a plan that works well enough: with a little help from her best friend Megan, Abigail can almost pretend to be normal.

But when Megan decides to help out with Abigail’s love life, Abigail finds herself trapped on a date with a ridiculously sexy man who accidentally lets slip that some of the things Abigail has “made up” are true – and that the rest of the truth is stranger than her fiction.

Suddenly thrown into a world that has turned out to be crazier than she is, Abigail is going to have to learn to cope with werewolves, vampires, faeries, and being passionately kissed – and she’s going to have to learn fast, because there is a shadow war that has been roiling through the background of history, and she’s just come to the attention of all the players.

This is a great urban fantasy that is now once again posting here after a long break.
Follow Abby as she discovers how anxiety makes a whole lot more sense when that creepy guy leering at you really is picturing you as piece of meat, and faeries hide in dark corners just waiting to feed off your fears. Confronting both the supernatural and supernatural levels of anxiety makes things only that much more interesting.
I personally love Abby's character. Despite her near crippling anxiety and constant self-depreciation, the author manages to make her feel real and keeps me invested in her struggle.
The urban fantasy setting itself also feels rich as the reader learns more about it along with Abby. Vampires, werewolves, ghouls, faeries, and mages all have their own cultures and lives that make the world feel lived in.
In general, secondary characters have depth and their own motivations. As more characters are introduced, their interactions with Abby can sometimes end up revolving around one singular trait or event. However, the author does a good job of managing this by maintaining the pace of the novel, so the characters never start to feel stale.
Grammar throughout is solid.
Overall this series is a great read and I would recommend it for anyone that already enjoys urban fantasy.

Beautifully written. Great characters. Wonderfully emotive inner dialogue, and solid pacing overall. No real denouement, which was only pacing issue I noticed. Stopped reading after Book 1. It is too hard to be in Abigail's f*cked up brain for me and the twist at the end of the book ruined everything else (for me). I view this as a personal headspace thing, though, and not a failing of the author.

I read this story on your website and I have to say - hilarious. Not only is Abigail amazingly funny, but all of the characters have fully fleshed out personalities and react believably to the craziness that happens to them.

This is a Good Story.
And i dont write reviews often.
I look forward to further world building and what she will be come at the height of her power.
This story draws you in with its mystery and makes you wonder when our poor paraniod but weirdly versitile protag will finally catch a break. Keep it up!

I first read this series when it was being newly posted. It's one of my all time favorite reads, and I recommend it to anyone with an interest in the genre. I'm so glad the author is posting again! She's one of the best I've read, and I've read a LOT.

Ok, so, I love the shit out of this book. Yes, harem stuff is controversial. I'm going to ignore that part/tag, because it's not really that important. Sure, the MC has a boyfriend and a girlfriend. Sure, there's some moderately explicit smut. That's not what I'm here to talk about, though.
This book is a good binge, I recommend you give it a shot. And by a shot, I mean at least 10 chapters- not because the first couple are bad, but because by chapter 10 I bet you'll be hooked too.
Style? Fantastic. Engaging. 5 stars.
Story? Well-written. Logical. Emotional. Thrilling. Exciting. Stressful. Evocative. Cathartic. An actual plot. 5 stars.
Grammar? Typoes, no. Artistic use of run-ons as an anxious stream-of-consciousness? Maybe, I'd have to go back and check. Maybe not. Misuse of homophones? Nope. Also 5 stars.
Characters? Relatable. Accurate. I have anxiety disorders, as does the MC(who has it a bit worse I think, as I don't make up stuff about vampires and stuff. Granted, some of my worries are really non-realistic and can offend friends when I worry they don't like me yet again, but well, I think you know what I mean- mine don't include fantasy{i.e. tolkein stuff} even if they can be pretty uh, out there, unverified, baseless, or so on.
If you want to understand a bit of what anxiety disorders can be like, either because you have a friend(and maybe you're tired of reassuring sinilar anxieties over and over again because you think they'd be over those by now) who has them or just want to know? This may help you understand them a bit. We worry about *everything.* Even years later, sometimes. Sometimes old anxieties come back and we can't just pop it immediately, either.
Anyway, characters. Relatable, check. Realistic, check. Believable motivations, check. Well-developed, check. 5 stars.
Need I say more?
Ok, fine. There's harem and some smut, and that can offend some people. Personally, the author built the relationships and emotional connections really well, it's not j

Picked this up earlier today, just got to the nightclub, and I'm really enjoying reading a fun, sexy story.
Abigail is paranoid and makes up stories so she doesn't have to explain to her friend why she's freaking out about someone. Due to a misunderstanding with her (hot) new boss, she finds out that at least some of her stories are true.
I feel the author has written a believable set of characters (as seen through Abigail's point of view), and I'm very much looking forward to finding out where they are going.

I picked this up 2 days ago, and I have barely been able to put my phone down. It's a fascinating read, and I loved exploring the world you created. It's impossible to not root for abigail, and I hope one day you choose to pick this story back up! There'll be at least 1 reader waiting for more of her adventures

I have been reading this one for some time, nice to see it here on RR. This one is fun peeps. Vampires werewolves and more and of course our crazy mc showing everybody that in a crazy world being crazy really helps.

I've never seen a story before that shows exactly what social anxiety is like, even if it is taken a bit farther than average. Its easy to identify with the main character if you have had anxiety of any kind. Seeing how she handles it while being thrown into a world of fantasy in the dark corners of our world. Werewolves, Time stopping Vampires, Fae, Ghosts, sex and a constant struggle for survival and finding your place in this world. That could easily buddy up with stories like Dresden Files.
I've been a fan since book two and even a patreon. Its really worth following if you enjoy urban fantasy at all.
