An addictive enemies-to-lovers romance . . . Fans of dark romantasy won't want to miss this -- Publishers Weekly, Starred Review on The Serpent and the Wings of Night Carissa Broadbent's The Serpent & the Wings of Night has all the fun of A Court of Thorns and Roses, but it will also appeal to Twilight fans because vampires are at the centre of the novel -- Insider on The Serpent and the Wings of Night If you are a fan of dangerous fantasy worlds, bloodthirsty vampires, swoon-worthy romance and a completely terrifying deadly competition, The Serpent & the Wings of Night is going to be a book you will love -- Book Briefs on The Serpent and the Wings of Night I read it in one sitting, in one night, and loved it.

Carissa Broadbent has been concerning teachers and parents with mercilessly grim tales since she was roughly nine years old. Since then, her stories have gotten (slightly) less depressing and (hopefully a lot?) more readable. Today, she writes novels that blend epic fantasy plots with a heaping dose of romance. She lives with her husband, her son, one very badly behaved rabbit and one perpetually sceptical cat in Rhode Island.
