Mercy Blackwood

Hello, I'm Mercy

I write monster romance for readers who like their heroes dangerous, their heroines sharp, and their happy endings earned.

Born in Albania and raised between worlds, I believe the best stories live in the spaces between—between fear and desire, between human and other, between what we're told to want and what we actually crave.

My books feature morally gray monsters, sharp-tongued heroines who don't need saving, and enough heat to fog your windows. I believe in found family, possessive heroes who ask permission, and the revolutionary act of women unashamedly wanting things.

I live in Portland, Oregon, surrounded by books, coffee, and plants I keep forgetting to water.
