VM Black is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author specializing in steamy paranormal romance, with a focus on vampire and shifter/werewolf narratives. Her works, including the series "Cora's Choice," "Cora's Bond," and "The Alpha's Captive," blend dark, angsty romance with elements of fantasy, often drawing comparisons to "Twilight" and "50 Shades of Grey." Readers frequently liken her storytelling to the works of Anne Rice and Sherrilyn Kenyon. Her universe, known as the Aethereal Bonds world, reimagines supernatural creatures—such as living vampires, alien elves, and interdimensional demons—while weaving intricate character arcs and evolving relationships.
Black's writing often explores the transformation of ordinary protagonists into formidable figures, as seen in "Cora's Choice," where the heroine's journey unfolds gradually over months or years. In contrast, "The Alpha's Captive" series features a strong, assertive heroine from the outset. Her stories balance romance with action and supernatural intrigue, ensuring happy-ever-after endings while continuing the overarching narrative. Currently, she remains dedicated to expanding the Aethereal Bonds universe, with upcoming projects including new panther-themed books and retellings of Cora's story from alternate perspectives.
