Dark paranormal romance · Paranormal Obsessions series
Meet Lina C. Eleste
Lina writes dark-ish paranormal romance with morally gray heroes, a hidden supernatural world, and strong heroines facing very real problems. Every book in her Paranormal Obsessions series centers on violence against women — and on the women who survive it. When she isn't writing, she's a mom and a graphic designer.
The books
A Wolf and A Butterfly
Jessica Miles refuses to be a victim. When a masked man threatens her with a gun, she turns the tables, knocks him out, and ties him up. She offers him a choice: face arrest or become her personal toy for two days. But Tian is a wolf-shifter obsessed with his Butterfly, and his carefully laid plans have underestimated her strength. Werewolves, witty banter, and a hidden supernatural world collide in this dark paranormal romance.
A Bee and A Shadow
Owen is a cursed ex-soldier and EMT whose world of dark magic stays hidden from humans. Hired to protect Beatrice Foster, a neurodivergent woman scarred by a past love, he rescues her from kidnappers. His fierce devotion helps her feel whole again, but his own shadows crave to possess her. In this modern Headless Rider retelling, Beatrice must decide whether giving her heart to a dangerous man is worth the darkness that comes with him.
A Dagger and A Dragonfly
When Killian Blackmore turns up bloody and unconscious on nurse Libby Dugan’s doorstep, she patches him up despite their bitter history. Thirteen years have passed, and she wants nothing to do with him or the supernatural mafia life she left behind. But when enemies old and new threaten them both, Libby must work with the man she swore to hate—and confront the past and feelings she buried deep in her heart.
In her words
All 3 of my books have the theme of violence against women, because I feel very strongly about this topic.
All of these topics are very close to heart for me because I've experienced some of those myself. I had a close family member who had been living in an abusive marriage until her husband died from an overdose. I have several friends who were date/party raped. And two friends who had to terminate. My own personal experience isn't that different from many other women.
My books are dedicated to all the women who had to go through the same ordeals. That's why I write about these topics. It's important to talk about this and finally push for the society to make a change.
Lina, thank you so much for sharing your story, for sharing your writing, and for uplifting the voices of victims and survivors. Your work is important. — Eremita
