Trauma handled with care. Humor sharp enough to draw blood.
Charlotte Marelli survived human trafficking and a catastrophic marriage.
Her life inside Umbrafore is small and deliberately constructed: work, wine, walls. The supernatural coffee shop runs smoothly. The vampire friend with benefits is a practical arrangement with no feelings involved.
Her therapist recommends rage journaling. Charlotte thinks it's ridiculous, but starts anyway.
When the truth about her past unravels-about who sold her out, and how far the betrayal goes-Charlotte has to decide whether the life she's built is living, or just survival.
A darker standalone companion to the Maya's Blogs series.Perfect for readers who love dark cozy fantasy, British snark and humor, older heroines, and found family.
