Anca Antoci is a fantasy author based in Romania, writing urban fantasy adventures and paranormal mysteries with just a hint of romance.

Her novella Blood Knight kicks off both the Chimera Trilogy and the Paranormal Misadventures series.
The Chimera Trilogy is a U.S.-set urban fantasy saga that blends chosen-one energy, found family, forbidden love, and a fresh twist on myth and magic.

In Paranormal Misadventures, a witch, a werewolf (vârcolac), and a not-so-average police inspector tackle supernatural cases steeped in Romanian folklore—with a generous helping of local cuisine along the way.

When she’s not writing, Anca’s reading, blogging, or exploring productivity and self-growth on Medium. She's also the founder of https://www.summonfantasy.

All I Want for Christmas is a Hitman by Katie Reus

Perfect story for the holiday season. It has a fun romance, sassy llamas, a hot hitman, danger and tension.
Anca Antoci is reading All I Want for Christmas is a Hitman: Loved the epigraphs and the sassy lamas. Given the blurb and the first chapter I expect a cheesy romance with Hallmark vibes. And it was exactly what I was in the mood for around the holidays. But it was so much more than that and I found myself turning the pages way past my bed time 😅

Quotes by Anca Antoci  (?)

“Well, I'm naked... You're naked, we're in the same bed, and I don't remember coming here willingly. Put yourself in my shoes, what would you think?"
"You weren't wearing any when I found you."
"Wearing what?" He saw the confusion on her face and explained further.
"Shoes... You were barefoot when I found you."
"You found me? Where?"
"In the woods, two nights ago.”
Anca Antoci, Forget Me Not

“Angela nodded, her resolve hardening. “Thank you for getting me out,” she said, her voice steady but tinged with genuine gratitude.
Kenji leaned back in his seat, his long fingers resting lightly on the edge of his thigh as his gaze turned contemplative. He stared out the window, the glow of streetlights catching the edges of his sharp profile. “That’s what you do after the milk is spilled. You bring the broom and the mop and clean the mess.”
A chuckle escaped Angela’s lips. “I don’t think Louise would appreciate being called ‘the broom and the mop.’”
Kenji turned back to her, his eyes glittering with amusement as a faint smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth. “Perhaps not. But let’s be honest, she did clean up the mess rather spectacularly.”
Anca Antoci, Ghost in the Attic: A Vampire Thriller

“It wasn’t a dream, it was a glimpse of the future. You’re a Shadow, Rae. That means you’re human but you have magic ancestry. That makes you also a vessel for magic. With the right training and blood magic, you can become a powerful ally or a formidable enemy to my kind. We call you Shadows because once you tap into your powers, you are invisible to witches. That makes you dangerous to the Council, and if they get wind of your existence, hellhounds will come for you.”
Anca Antoci

“And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul”
John Muir

“And so the cycle of innocence found, lost, found again, and finally

lost is complete. Just as a peanut is neither a pea nor a nut… and a thighmaster is neither a thigh nor a master… so our hero learned that

Netflix and Chill means neither Netflix nor Chill.

And if you’re just learning this for the first time, welcome to the end of your innocence.”
Philip Rivera, Suburban Luchador: Memoirs From Suburbia

“One day, I’m going to start a minivan gang. That’ll show these Sons of Anarchy.

We would be called the Sons of Suburbia and our Suburban Steel Stallions, with high MPG, multiple airbags, cup holders and designer car safety seats, would rule the highways… and the preschool pickup line.”
Philip Rivera, Suburban Luchador: Memoirs From Suburbia

“It was like a nightclub rave… at 10 am… for moms and toddlers… in a library.”
Philip Rivera, Suburban Luchador: Memoirs From Suburbia

“The library is inhabited by spirits that come out of the pages at night.”
Isabel Allende
