Mallory Cywinski

Paranormal Speculative Horror Romance

"Mallory has a very unique way with words that draws you in and paints vivid scenes, fully immersing you in her story and characters ... The story is rich, funny in places, steamy and also haunting and tragic in parts. It's a brilliant and original mix of suspence, horror, and romance, asking at its core, how you survive grief."

"This book is amazing! ... Mallory is an amazing writer and her ability to seamlessly add detail in all the right places makes it easy to picture what you're reading in front of you."

"I absolutely loved this book. It is a paranormal horror mixed with a bit of romance. Yet, it is more than just that ... it is about heartache, loyalty, desperation, redemption, and second chances. Once, I started reading, I could not stop."

“Be an unstoppable force. Write with an imaginary machete strapped to your thigh. This is not wishy-washy, polite, drinking-tea-with-your-pinkie-sticking-out stuff. It’s who you want to be, your most powerful self.

Write your books. Finish them, then make them better. Find the way.

No one will make this dream come true for you but you.”

— Laini Taylor, Author of Strange the Dreamer
