edit data

Melody Kepler writes emotionally intense romance where love collides with darkness, science, and the unknown. Her debut—seven years in the making—sparked a passion for tragic, character-driven stories that blend science fiction with haunting romance. When she’s not exploring the fragile line between monster and man on the page, she’s at home in Utah with her husband, kids, and two dogs, always searching for new ideas and the psychology that makes characters feel real.

Melody Kepler liked K.E. Woodruff's review of When the Sun Fades: A Dark Fantasy Dystopian Romance with a Tragic End (The Noctis Cycle Book 2): "The Noctis Cycle series continues in book 2 with as much tragedy and yearning as you would expect from Kepler. However, When The Sun Fades does not pick up where the previous book left off. This time, readers get to know Cassia, a strong-willed girl d" Read more of this review »

Melody Kepler is 21% done with Awake While I Die: Jason had experienced some kind of life altering tragedy that has yet to be named, but it's hinting at either dad died or divorce. I suspect Taylor is the future romantic interest? I like Russell 😂 We've met the attacker but Jason just thinks he's going crazy and declined his help. Still don't have it spelled out that he's a vampire but the clues are adding up nicely enough to for sure suspect. Awake While I Die by K.E. Woodruff (Goodreads Author) progress:	Error rating book.
