C.M. Adams writes dark romance and speculative fiction for readers who crave intense worlds, unapologetic heroines, and love stories forged in fire. Her novels blend danger, desire, and high-stakes survival — whether in the chaos of a zombie apocalypse, the iron grip of a dystopian regime, or the treacherous courts of magic and power.

Her heroines fight, bleed, and sometimes burn, but they never bow. Her love interests are morally grey, fiercely protective, and just dangerous enough to keep you up all night turning pages.

Her books are published first on Amazon — available in Kindle Unlimited, eBook, paperback, and hardback — and are also available on Barnes & Noble, as well as through Gumroad, Payhip, IngramSpark, and directly on her website

It would be between Prythian in the ACOTAR series or Basgiath in the Fourth Wing Series.
Specifically, I'd want to go to the Night Court and visit Velaris or the Illyrians. It sounds like the best place to be. I'm a night owl and a city of starlight would be my ideal place to relax and write.
For Fourth Wing, it would be the war college, the dragons, and seeing it all first hand. Or riding a dragon... if I could stay seated. (less)

A Solid Small-Town Romance

This was an interesting and well-written small-town romance, even if it wasn’t entirely my personal cup of tea. I’m not a huge fan of third-person POV, and I tend to gravitate more toward romantasy than contemporary romance,

Interesting Premise, Uneven Execution

I really wanted to like this book because the premise is genuinely interesting and the idea of witchcraft resurfacing in a steampunk-tinged early 1900s setting had a lot of potential. Unfortunately, the execution

"An exciting and emotionally charged fantasy that lives up to its title. The story builds into a vivid tale of power, rebirth, and destiny that keeps you invested throughout. A solid, enjoyable read for fans of elemental magic, resilience, and epic fa" Read more of this review »
