Series background & context

The Ollie Wit series starts with a problem Olivia, known as Ollie, has carried since childhood: she sees monsters. No one else sees them, so the people around her assume she is imagining things. Years of therapy, medication, and being dismissed have taught Ollie to hide what she knows. She has learned how to sound normal, even when the world around her clearly is not.

Then the monsters destroy everything.

After an explosion kills Ollie's family and leaves her alive, she has little interest in protecting herself or making sense of what happened. That changes when she is pulled into Boston's hidden supernatural world. The creatures she saw were real, the nightmares have names, and Ollie has a rare ability that makes her valuable to people with dangerous plans.

Ollie is a Shadow Walker, someone able to enter the Shadowlands, a perilous other realm connected to spells, monsters, and buried power. Kane, a powerful and private figure within the supernatural community, believes she may be able to find what he needs there. In return, he offers answers and the possibility of ending the terror that has shaped her life. It is not a simple bargain. The deeper Ollie goes into the Shadowlands, the more she risks losing control of herself.

The series blends urban fantasy, mystery, and a slow-burn romance. Boston is full of paranormal factions, including vampires, witches, leprechauns, and creatures with their own rules and grudges. Ollie is new to all of it, but she is not a passive guide through the setting. She is blunt, grieving, sarcastic, and often willing to confront a threat because fear no longer feels like the worst thing that can happen.

Kane remains a source of both protection and frustration. He knows much more than he shares, and Ollie has to decide whether his secrecy comes from caution, selfishness, or something more complicated. Their relationship develops across the trilogy through hard-won trust rather than instant certainty.

The books also follow Ollie's search for the truth about the explosion, her family, and the role she has been pushed into. Power is never entirely a gift here. It brings attention, enemies, and obligations she did not ask for.

Begin with A Step into the Dark, then continue with Walking in the Dark and Kissed by the Dark. Read in order. Ollie's choices, growing abilities, and relationships carry directly from one book to the next, making this a good pick for readers who like dark magic, uneasy alliances, and heroines who keep going even when they do not have a plan.
