Perfect for you if...

  • You love paranormal worldbuilding with real stakes and a cast of genuinely dangerous characters who surprise you.
  • You're after a slow-burn romantic tension that builds over the book rather than consuming it.
  • You want a heroine who's broken and fragile but refuses to be helpless, even when her power terrifies everyone around her.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need fast-paced action sequences and high-octane plotting from page one.
  • You're looking for a romance that's the main event rather than a powerful undercurrent.
  • You prefer worlds where humans remain in control and supernatural creatures are exotic sideshow characters.

About this book

Written in Red is the first novel in Anne Bishop's fantasy series set in a world where unearthly entities—including vampires and shape-shifters—rule the Earth and prey on humans. Meg Corbyn is a cassandra sangue, or blood prophet, who can see the future when her skin is cut. Her Controller has kept her enslaved to exploit her visions. When Meg escapes, she seeks refuge at the Lakeside Courtyard, a business district operated by the Others. Simon Wolfgard, a shape-shifter, is hesitant to hire the mysterious stranger who applies for the Human Liaison position. He senses she harbors secrets and doesn't smell like typical human prey. However, a stronger instinct leads him to offer her the job. When he discovers the truth about Meg and learns that the government is searching for her, he must decide whether she is worth the conflict between humans and the Others that will inevitably follow.
