https://dl.bookfunnel.com/93bd293hzz NOT MaffiaI’ve just published the first 2 parts of a Kindle Unlimited series and I’m trying to figure out who this book is actually for. It’s post-collapse (no government, no recovery fantasy) and starts intimate rather than epic. The story follows a man who’s deeply uncomfortable with attachment, falling for a woman who is not what she appears to be. The early focus is psychological tension, mistrust, and emotional control, not action. As the series progresses it becomes heavier on politics, power structures, and survival, while the relationship itself starts to fracture under pressure. This is not a comfort romance and not fast-paced dystopia. It’s slow, tense, and character-driven. If you like things like: – dark slow-burns – morally uncomfortable relationships – post-collapse worlds without hope-porn – politics creeping in after intimacy I’d love to know if this sounds like your kind of read — or if it doesn’t, that’s useful too.
This was originally an AO3 fanfiction but after 950 pages I decided to try to make it work on its own. The first part is just 150-200 pages.
