Pillow. The series is complete and ready to binge! All I want is a simple, normal life. Unfortunately, normalcy is a luxury I can't afford as a lowly human born into a powerful supernatural family embroiled in magic. They've always been quick to remind me that I have an expiration date. Imagine everyone's surprise when it’s me standing above their graves, not the other way around. The fire that took their lives wasn't my fault, yet everyone is blaming me, especially the vampires. Now I have a target on my back and a bounty on my head. Without the protection of my family, I’m caught up in a tangled web of supernatural dynasties and arcane power struggles. So when a handsome stranger and his young daughter take pity on me and offer me a ride, I don’t say no. It’s a mistake. One I hope doesn’t cost us all our lives. Sometimes, being merely mortal really sucks. The series is complete and ready to binge! Prepare for an exhilarating journey of magic, power struggles, and forbidden love like never before! Inspired by the author’s short novella, Merely Mortal. (Inspired by, but completely different!) This book ends on a cliffhanger, but don’t fret, look for book two: Mostly Shattered. Perfect for fans of Carrie Vaughn, Faith Hunter, Jennifer Estep, Lindsay Buroker, Ilona Andrews, and K.F.

A world deeply rooted in the supernatural realm.\n\nMeet Tamara Devine, a mortal living in a supernatural world. Her mother is mortal, but her father is a supernatural being, she being the product of an affair. Raised by her father and stepmother, she grew up with one particular lesson: she doesn't have long to live. With the help of her adopted brother, she navigates the supernatural world as best as she can, constantly reminded of her short lifespan. On her twenty-eighth birthday, the unthinkable happens—her family perishes in a fire. To make matters worse, her adopted brother informs her that the police view her as a suspect. To avoid arrest and clear her name, she goes on run, embarking on an adventure that will change her life dramatically.\n\nMerely Mortal is a story that takes the reader on a journey where the extraordinary intersects with the ordinary. Throughout this journey, the heroine Tamara discovers that despite her mortality, she possesses a unique strength. She also faces danger, learns about her past, finds love, and experiences the ultimate betrayal. This was one journey I did not wish to end. The story completely captivated me, making it difficult to put down. The world and characters created by the author also fascinated and intrigued me. Although it would be remiss of me not to mention that there were times when the heroine annoyed me with her woe is me attitude.\n\nReaders planning to pick this one up should prepare for an exciting urban fantasy featuring vampires, fairies, goblins, and a host of supernatural beings. However, be aware that the story ends with a cliffhanger, leaving the reader to wonder about Tamara's fate. One's aware going into the story that a cliffhanger was imminent but the twist at the end was unexpected.\n\nFans who enjoy urban fantasy will love Merely Mortal. I am looking forward to continuing my journey with Tamara Devine.\n\nThis review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading","none","rv-01kxppwjh4734df7k24p8kbj10",[],"2026-07-17T00:16:12.000000Z",{"first":7,"last":7,"prev":7,"next":7},{"path":147,"per_page":148,"next_cursor":7,"prev_cursor":7,"has_more":20},"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fapi\u002Fworks\u002F01kxppwhe4n4ftdc1vcf88szy3\u002Freviews",20]
