K.A. Finn

𝙉𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝 𝘽𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 won in the Romance (Suspense) category of the Audiobook Reviewer Awards. Julian did an incredible job bringing Nick, Scarlett, and the other characters to life.

Seems MY version of Santa wanted to give me an early Christmas present! That's not a bad way to wrap up 2025!

Definitely my rockstar, Dillon Ryan. He’s got a criminal record, gets into fights, has a reputation for sleeping around, says it like it is, and he’s definitely not someone you want to get on the wrong side of.

But there's so much more to the bad boy of 𝘽𝙧𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙣 𝘾𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙨.

In 𝘽𝙧𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙣 𝙍𝙤𝙘𝙠, I couldn’t quite picture him. In 𝙁𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙍𝙤𝙘𝙠, I learned that he would put his life on the line for his friends—and I started discovering sides of him I hadn’t imagined. In 𝙎𝙥𝙡𝙞𝙩 𝙍𝙤𝙘𝙠, his nurturing side came through, and in 𝘾𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙙 𝙍𝙤𝙘𝙠, he truly came into his own, going above and beyond to save his best friend’s life. By the time we get to his book, 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙍𝙤𝙘𝙠, he’s firmly claimed the spot as one of the most complex and addictive characters in my world.

He’s tough and no-nonsense on the surface, but deep down he’s just desperate to be loved—even though he’s in love with someone who can’t love him back.

He’s been through so much in his life, and I’m still learning how deeply it’s affected him. He’d give his life for his friends, always putting them before himself, which is exactly why he spirals as hard as he does. But he’s a fighter—and I can’t wait to see how he faces the biggest challenge I’m about to throw at him in his next book, 𝙏𝙬𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙍𝙤𝙘𝙠.

My illustrator has just a few more drawings to finish before I have the full set for Breaking Phoenix. I know I say this about all my books, but my vampires really are some of my favourites — and it all begins with Phoenix “Nix” and Court.

I still don’t know if Court will ever get his memory back. We’ll have to see what happens as the series continues. What I do know is that his past is going to cause both Court and the Blackjacks some serious headaches in the next book, Defending Rhain.

I’m not sure what the future holds for Nix and Court, but one thing’s certain — their story is far from over.

The illustrated version of Breaking Phoenix will be available next year — can't wait!
