LURED IN THE CRIMSON is the high-stakes third installment in the Shot in the Dark series—an urban romantasy that explores the raw courage required to embrace one’s true identity amidst haunting themes of forbidden love and found family. Perfect for fans of Supernatural, Fern Gully, and unique romantasies.

In a genre too often plagued by gatekeeping and antiquated standards, author Penn Cole has emerged as a formidable voice—an advocate, disruptor, and undeniable force within the fantasy romance space. Her presence is more than literary—it's a reclamation of a world long fenced off to female authors under the guise of “serious fantasy.” With her Kindred Cursed Saga, she doesn’t just pen stories—she dismantles stigmas.
