Jex thought she was an average, post-college girl--until she crippled a drunk and nearly incinerated a gas station. When her elemental powers manifest, she's torn from her placid life and shoved into the war between good and evil. Forced to rely on new allies, including the sweetheart Captain of the Guards and her alphahole Valen, Jex must come to terms with her newfound ability before her enemies succeed in capturing her. --Praise for Duality-- ★"This. Was. Incredible. I'm obsessed and completely invested in these characters and this story."--Early Reader ★"I loved this book. I loved the witty banter, the sayings, the hidden clues, and the many little twists that were throughout the plotline."--Goodreads Reviewer (ARC) ★"I don't know what drugs, or witchcraft, or messing with the time continuum the author has done to this book, but if you don't mind losing a night of sleep and you're into contemporary fantasy romance, go read Duality."--TikTok Reviewer (ARC) ★"Five hottest words ever spoken: go sit in the chair."--TikTok Reader (ARC) ★"Honestly this book is in my top 5 favorite books of 2021! The sass of the characters had me smiling and laughing. And the spice 🥵🔥 This book got me out of a reading slump. It was definitely a book that I couldn't put down." --Need to Know More?-- I am made of extremes. Normalcy was key, before. I'd have a normal life, with a normal job, and a normal white-picket fence. That was before I crippled a drunk and torched a gas station. As it turns out, normalcy lives in the average gray, but I do not. Instead, I am made of extremes. Of fire and water. Of light over darkness. Of good over evil. Well, mostly good over evil, apparently. Now I have no choice but to embrace the not-normal before my world comes crashing down a second time--to piece myself back together with the family I found when I needed it, with the support of two men dragging me (kicking and screaming) to my full capability. But the bad guys are coming, and they're coming for me. He's coming for me. Ain't that some shit. NOTE: Duality is book one of four in the Duality Series, and ends in a cliffhanger. It is medium burn MF and slow burn RH. TW: The Duality Series is an 18+ fantasy romance why-choose/reverse harem series. If you like unique magic systems, sword fights and action sequences, sassy heroines, and bonfire-hot spice, then this book is for you. Book One contains explicit sex and violence, and cheating as a tangential part of the story (not among the main characters). This book is not suitable for all ages and palates. If that is not for you, please do not buy this book.

I cant remember the last time I finished a book in 48 hours but here I am contemplating my entire life because this book just wrecked me. There are some spicy 18+ scenes, and the tension in them is very well written. Also well written is the witty banter of the protagonist and one of the main love interests. Jex is the type of woman that modern literature needs. She's smart, she's witty, she's capable. She's also sarcastic, not afraid to enforce her own boundaries, and yet, she's also soft. She's allowed to cry when she's hurt and grieving, then talk herself up and move forward through the situation. She's allowed to be incredibly dynamic and express (excuse the pun) the duality of what being a woman in 2021/2022 is. The NEED to be both soft and emotional but also fierce and strong. The men are written in such a way that realistically paints....men. They can be animalistic and immature and yet, they're respectful of Jex and her needs and her boundaries. 

I felt like Duality was kind of City of Bones vibe but with added spice, more emotionally complex characters, and a tiny tinge of a soulmate trope? 
If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. 

Support indie authors and read this book immediately.
