The instant New York Times bestseller

The only thing worse than fearing a monster is falling for one…

Kierse McKenna just shattered the Monster Treaty. Again.

It wasn’t entirely her fault. The job was supposed to be simple: steal a goblin-made bracelet off of the Queen of the Nymphs in her own palace. Trade the bracelet for a way to uncover the truth about her past. Except everything goes sideways.

And then he shows up to save her.

Graves—the warlock who ensnared her, betrayed her, and left her to fend for herself. He’s a villain. A monster draped in charm and shadows. And gods help her, he always knows exactly what she wants.

But Graves never does anything for free. He has a job for his favorite little thief. One that will pit her against the most powerful monsters in existence, including his mortal enemy, the Oak King.

An ancient artifact has been located, and only together can they hope to steal it. She just has to let him in.

But once she lets a monster in, he’s impossible to forget…and even harder to resist.

The Oak & Holly Cycle series is best enjoyed in order.

“Holy wow. KA Linde has really outdone herself on this one. This is not only a 5 star read, this is a ten star read. [...] I cannot say enough good things here, you just have to read it to experience it. [...] I thought we got a lot of representation in book one but book 2 really knocked it out of the park. [...] I’ll admit it... I was emotionally destroyed and cried. [...] I cannot recommend this series enough…”

“When I tell you this book is just as captivating, if not even more captivating, [...] [as] book 1…..hold onto your seats!! [...] oh my gosh the ending. I need book 3 already because this is just amazing!!!”

“If you loved book 1, you will love book 2 💜 It is full of action, heartbreak, spice, twists, and turns. So much happened and so much was revealed and I need to know what happens next!”

“Great series, especially for a fantasy lover like [myself].”

“If you HAVEN’T checked out this series, you MUST.”

“A series worth binge reading. I love how this book is full of so many characters. I will read this one again.”

“I loved the whole book! The monster vibes, adventure, the heists, and the Celtic mythology were all immaculate and had me hooked. The way Kierse is trying to find out more about her past was amazing and I adored how she was so determined.”

“[N]eed the next book now omg”

“K.A. Linde is a sorcerer because the story kept me guessing and MAN, the last part (part 5) had me gasping for air. [...] I NEEEEEED to know what happens next! This is one of those books that truly left my gasts much-a-flabbered. 12/10 will come back for more!

“Holy smokes!!! I was hooked this whole book and OUTRAGED by the ending!”

“Loved this book, even more than the first book in the series! Will be excited for the next book!”

“Robin is hands down one of my favorite books of 2025! Linde took some wild creative swings with this one, and oh man, did they pay off! This isn’t just a page-turner—it’s the kind of book you have to tell your friends about, because it refuses to leave your head! And the ending? Let’s just say my jaw was on the floor and yours will be too.”

“KA Linde is a treasure. Her storytelling is a gift, and I, for one, am so happy that she chooses to share it. [...] Kierse and Graves just need to be together. I said what I said.”

“The story is fantastic. I love the world K.A. Linde creates and [t]here are always amazing twists and turns. [...] I enjoyed this book so much. I highly recommend this series and am so ready for book 3.”

“The world feels rich and layered, and I love how quickly we're thrown back into the drama and danger. K.A. Linde always knows how to deliver twists and tension right out of the gate, and this was no exception.”

“Book 1 blew me away, book 2 has obliterated me. Graves and [Kierse] had me kicking my feet.”

“The dynamic between Kierse and Graves is even more intense, and [...] it makes it all more exciting. Kierse is still sarcastic and relatable, and the banter is still top level. There’s some fun twists already. [...] Loved book one, but this one already feels like it’s leveling up.”
