edit data

May Oktan is a fiction author who loves stories with emotional depth, a touch of mystery, and slow-burn tension—whether set in a dystopian world or a contemporary romance. Her writing explores the hidden forces shaping our lives and the relationships that pull us forward.

Techy by day and creative by nature, May believes code and storytelling have more in common than people think. When she isn't writing, she can be found with her family, her dogs, a great book, or whatever TV show has currently caught her imagination.

She is already working on her next novel, and you can follow her on Goodreads to stay in the loop. ...more

I found it hard to relate to Garrett at first because his over-the-top, aggressive temper borders on absurd, especially when he starts fights and throws tantrums over minor things. But as the story unfolds, watching his slow, hard-fought deconstructi ...more

May Oktan liked Jagdish Arora's review of The Underground: "The book has a strong atmosphere and a storyline that kept building suspense.
