A Murder of Secrets & Lies is the first in the Monster Island Series. A dark romantasy for readers who crave chaos with heart, danger with heat, and monsters who love a little too hard.

When five women are pulled into a deadly game on a remote island, they quickly learn that the real monsters aren’t the ones with claws. Each carries secrets, scars, and strength the island was built to expose.

What begins as survival becomes transformation as they collide with creatures born of myth, magic, and sin, and find family, love, and power in the unlikeliest places.

Told through multiple POVs, the series blends dark humor, sensual tension, and emotional grit.

It’s Crescent City meets The Bargainer Series, a world where found family is sacred, love is dangerous, and freedom always has teeth.

Written for romantasy readers who love why-choose dynamics, fierce heroines, and morally gray monsters with hearts.

Monster Island stands out as more than a romance, it’s a reckoning.

Cinematic, spicy, and heartbreakingly human, it’s a story about survival, sisterhood, and what it truly means to be monstrous.
