A.A. Powers
A. A. Powers didn’t start writing until she was forty-three. She wanted her kids to see what it looks like to choose something that matters, even when it feels a little scary. She writes modern fantasy romance with dark themes, magic, fate, and intimacy you don’t have to imagine off-screen. Her stories follow love that wants to be felt.
She lives in Minnesota with her husband (her favorite person to flirt with), her teenagers (who definitely think their mom is cool), two dogs, and a stray cat who refused to leave. Half the house calls her Cinnamon Williams. The other half calls her Miss Kitty. She insisted on being in the story, too.
When she isn’t writing, she is usually annoying her kids on purpose, letting the dogs in and out, discussing whether Bigfoot is real with her husband, and keeping the house just clean enough to find the remote.
A Devious descent - book one:
WHAT IF THE DEMON WHO’S MEANT TO KILL YOU IS THE ONE YOU CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT?
FRANKIE HART thought monsters only lived in fairytales until the search for her missing brother reveals she is one of them. Not only is she half-demon, but her blood is tied to a prophecy that could destroy the mortal realm.
ZARRETH, a demon from the Dark Realm, was supposed to end the prophecy by ending Frankie’s life. But when she turns to him for help, the line between hunter and protector blurs, and he starts to question everything he’s been told about the prophecy, and about her.
TOGETHER, they must navigate a world where demons will stop at nothing to claim her power. As danger grows, a bond begins to form, one that feels less like chance and more like fate.
A DEVIOUS DESCENT is a contemporary romantasy full of witty banter, deep friendships, and heart-wrenching revelations… Oh, and let’s not forget the spice! Trust me, it’ll have you blushing.
Trigger Warnings: explicit sexual content, sexual assault, torture, graphic violence, murder, suicide ideation, mentions of child abuse and neglect, insinuations of rape. There’s also a short scene involving pedophiles. However, no pedophilia takes place and children are not involved (and they all die so that’s cool!). Not sure if vulgar language and smoking pot are triggering, but there’s some of that too.
A Devious awakening - book two:
WHAT WOULD YOU SACRIFICE TO SAVE EVERYTHING YOU LOVE?
FRANKIE’s magic is new and unpredictable, bound to emotions she can’t control. The more she suppresses her darkness, the harder it becomes to summon her light. As balance slips further from reach, she relies on Zarreth to teach her that control isn’t about holding back but letting go. She must face every part of herself, even the ones she’s afraid to claim.
ZARRETH has finally returned to his horde and the home he gave everything to protect. But now the realms are faltering as Dante draws power from something that was never meant to be used. To save them, Zarreth must leave his home again and travel to the light realm with Frankie, where her power could either mend what’s broken or shatter it completely.
TOGETHER, they risk everything to stop the destruction, even if it means sacrificing the one thing they can’t live without.
