About the author

A British-Canadian writer, artist, and ex nurse currently living in BC, Canada. All the art-from the cover, to the illustrations within the pages-are her own.

I'm a self-proclaimed angst queen, and I write omegaverse and fantasy romance, most often with many lovers per lady. I have a strong preference toward enemies to lovers, bully, and dark romance.

The voices I bring to the paper draw from the distinct social settings in which I have lived, the many places I have travelled, and from my time in health care.

I maintain a commitment not to write pregnancy in my books (including epilogues). While I have nothing against the beauty of babies, my leading ladies find HEAs outside of children <3

Interesting world, violent and dangerous, told from all POV. I liked the FMC, her innocence was endearing and protected by her pack. Sin was not the typical male omega and the way he interacted with his alpha’s was purely platonic. The storyline was griping and perfectly paced. Can’t wait for another installment from the world of Anarchy.

This book starts at a phrenic pace and it never stops.
This is such a great story about how poor Crescent was dropped in what was similar to a battle ground and had to find a way to survive.
I love how, even though everything is an uphill battle, she manages to develop and expand her character and learn new things. Some things are interesting and others are very naughty!
The males in the story range from morally grey to pitch black. I love Sin as he is not what you think and he manages to bring humour to the story, even if it is unintentional. I love the scenes with Karma and Phantom and how Sin tortures them. So funny! Whilst, Vandle is a different beast entirely and I love the turnaround from total psycho to pack lead.
The best bit about this story is the fact that you think you know what his happening, but the story goes in a completely different direction and that twist, what a treat!
This is a great story and I would love to read more books in this series!

Everything she writes is amazing. Love her work. Ok, so this one was a little more complex we have the FMC in a jail. The only female omega mind you. How we meet all the males in her pack *wink* *wink* And then how she slowly breaks out of the cycle that she started with 😂(ifykyk). The veryyyyyy long 10 hardest days, of their lives, that feels like it's an entire lifetime. Chapter 1 intrigued, next thing you know your 50% in and need to leave for work in a couple hours, so you reluctantly put the book down and start getting ready.

I hope we get about a million more of these set in Anarchy. The real dream here is that we get to see an older (maybe, gasp, 30 year old... and maybe even not tiny!?) omega matched with one of the other bad guy packs. Hope springs eternal.

That being said, I also hope we see a shift to Marie Mackay's usual writing style. The characters and dialogue were way flatter than any of her previous books.

A HUGE missing component was the tension that is usually built through the slow burn. The insta-love just didn't land with the same intensity.

I'm wondering if it is due to the collaboration?

I'd love to see more of the omega's from the convent sent to anarchy but that's more about the potential of the ideas than the quality of this specific story

Another incredible addition to the poisonverse. This one had me at the edge of my seat the entire time. Crescent was a beautiful innocent omega trying her best. I loved how she interacted with the mayhem around her. And Sin!?! The introduction of a sigma designation! I am here for it. Can’t wait for more stories out of anarchy!
