Author bio
Katie May writes the kind of romance that likes to smash genres together and keep moving. Paranormal, fantasy, contemporary, horror-tinged academy stories, monster romance, apocalypse setups, dark comedy, she works comfortably across all of it. What ties the books together is the emotional shape: strong or scrappy heroines, dangerous men, fast momentum, and a why choose approach that lets the romance stay big and complicated.
Before publishing fiction, she studied political science and legal studies in college and planned on a path that led toward law school. Instead, writing became the thing that stuck. By 2018, she had published The Darkness We Crave, the first book in her Together We Fall series, and from there her catalog grew quickly.
Fast is a good word for her work.
Katie May tends to build a series around one sharp hook and then push it hard. In Monsters, Dracula's daughter is shipped off to a monster academy because she is a disaster by family standards. In Greed, a human assassin is thrown into a deadly supernatural contest run by princes descended from the seven sins. In Courting Darkness, a chronically ill teen lands in a strange town where fae secrets and a serial killer are both in play. In Of Rain and Wrath, a cursed girl known as the Death Whisperer is caught between brutal fae princes and her own dangerous power.
She also likes worlds with rules, and then likes breaking them.
That is part of why readers tend to bounce from one Katie May series to another. Even when the tone changes, the books usually offer the same core pleasures: a heroine under pressure, a cast of men with very different energies, a lot of banter, and a steady stream of reveals that keep the plot from sitting still. Some series lean younger and spooky, like Beyond The Shadows or Tory's School for the Troubled. Others go darker or hotter, like Dark Temptations, Kings of Grove Academy, or Secret Darling.
Her backlist also shows how comfortable she is working with collaborators. She co-wrote Dearly Departed and the rest of Afterworld Academy with Loxley Savage, Courting Darkness and its sequels with Quinn Arthurs, and several books with Ann Denton, including Ravaged by Monsters and For Whom the Bell Tolls. Even across collaborations, the books still feel very much in her lane: supernatural danger, emotionally messy bonds, and heroines who rarely get an easy day.
Katie May is a USA Today bestselling author, and her catalog now stretches across dozens of books and many connected series. A lot of them are built for binge reading. One cliffhanger leads to the next reveal, one strange world opens into another, and suddenly you are four books deep.
Off the page, the details she shares are simple and memorable. She has said she adores her tabby cat, and she is very into coffee and horror movies.
That feels about right.
The books have the same mix of comfort and chaos, something cozy in the voice, something feral in the plot, and just enough humor to keep even the darker stories from sinking under their own weight.
