Welcome to my website! I’m New York Times bestselling author Karina Halle, based out of Victoria, BC.
I’ve written more than 80 romances across just about every dark and delicious corner of the genre—gothic horror, dark fantasy, spicy rom-coms, paranormal, royals, the works. Whatever you’re into, there’s a good chance I’ve written a happily-ever-after for it.
New here? The easiest way in is to find your vibe below and follow it down the rabbit hole. And if you want first looks at covers, new releases, and the occasional thing too wicked for the internet (aka NSFW art), my newsletter is where all of that lives.

Karina Halle’s latest release
VANGUARD (Kiss or Kill)
Her kiss may be deadly, but he’s indestructible. A dark romance special ops spy thriller with a post-dystopian sci-fi bent—and he’s the only man she can kiss without consequence.
