Magic, Danger, and a Deadly Ritual—Merely Mortal: Barely Breathing Has Arrived!
The Next Chapter in Tamara Devine’s Story Has Arrived!It’s finally here! Merely Mortal: Barely Breathing has officially launched, and I couldn’t be more excited to share this next chapter of Tamara Devine’s journey with you.
If you’ve been following the Merely Mortal series, you know that Tamara has spent her life straddling two worlds—human and magic—but belonging to neither. She’s fought to carve out a place for herself, but now, an ancient force stirs beneath the surface, and the fate of the supernatural world is tied to a dangerous ritual with her at the center.
With her past love remembering what should have stayed forgotten, a master vampire who tempts her into the darkness, and supernatural politics closing in, Tamara faces her biggest choice yet:
💥 Embrace the supernatural world that has always rejected her
🔥 Or fight for her own path—before the ritual binds her fate forever
What You Can Expect in Barely Breathing
This book is packed with everything you love about the Merely Mortal series:
✅ Slow-burn tension and supernatural intrigue
✅ A powerful heroine forced to make impossible choices
✅ A world where vampires, shifters, and magic collide
✅ High stakes, dark secrets, and a touch of danger
Readers Say: If you’re a fan of Ilona Andrews, K.F. Breene, Faith Hunter, or Jennifer Estep, you won’t want to miss this one!
Why I Wrote This Book
One of the biggest themes in Barely Breathing is finding where you belong. Tamara has always been stuck between two worlds, never quite fitting into either. But what happens when both sides demand something from her? When both offer something she desperately wants?
Writing this book was an emotional ride. Tamara’s choices aren’t easy, and I think that’s what makes her journey so powerful and relatable. At its heart, this is a story about identity, love, and the battle between fate and free will.

✨ Tamara Devine is back… and she’s barely breathing. ✨
What happens when the one thing keeping you alive might also be your undoing? Tamara thought she’d finally found her place in the supernatural world—between her dangerous new vampire boyfriend (is that even the right word for a centuries-old master vampire?) and the amulet that connects her to an ancient dragon. But peace isn’t in the cards for her.
Because the werewolves just kidnapped Paul. Yeah, that Paul. The one she was trying (and failing) to get over. The one she left behind to keep him safe. The one who just got his memories back.
Now, with war brewing between supernatural factions and Tamara caught in the middle, she has two choices:
1️⃣ Trust Costin, the brooding, powerful vampire who says he’ll protect her—whether she wants him to or not.
2️⃣ Risk everything to save Paul, even if it means facing creatures older and more dangerous than anything she’s encountered before.
And, of course, there’s always Option 3: Die trying.
Will she embrace the darkness… or will it consume her?
🔥 Tropes You Love & Crave 🔥
Mortal in a Supernatural World
Slow-Burn to Scorching Heat 🔥
Enemies to Lovers (hello, Costin 😏)
Protective, Possessive Vampire
Dangerous Secrets & Twisted Loyalties
Found Family (with fangs and claws)
Magic-Fueled Power Struggles
Love Triangle (or is it a war?)
Who’s ready to pick a side? 🦇 #TeamCostin or 🐺 #TeamPaul? Let the battle begin.

Fiction Tropes: My Bored Panda Interview on “Hot” Tropes That Would Be Disturbing in Real Life
I’m excited to share that I was recently featured in a Bored Panda article discussing popular tropes in literature that, while enticing on the page, might be unsettling in real life. In the interview, I delve into the allure of fated mates, the fascination with morally gray antiheroes, and the balance between creating complex characters without glorifying their flaws. It’s an interesting exploration of how fiction allows us to safely navigate intense themes and emotions.
Explore the Topic: My full interview answers are below!
You can read the article “What’s Something That’s Hot In Books But Repulsive In Real Life?” (40 Answers) Interview With Expert here: https://www.boredpanda.com/hot-in-books-repulsive-real-life/
While fiction gives us a safe space to explore dark and complex relationships, real life is a completely different story. No one should ever feel trapped in a toxic or abusive situation. If you’re in a relationship that makes you feel unsafe, unheard, or unworthy, please know that you deserve better. Love should never come at the cost of your well-being. If you need support, reach out to trusted friends, family, or professional resources—help is out there, and you are not alone. You are worthy of love, respect, and a future filled with happiness. 💜
Michelle M. PillowRomance Fiction Author
Full Bored Panda InterviewA special thank you to Austeja Zokaite for having me!
1. What’s a trope you love writing, even though it would be disturbing/repulsive in real life?
Oh, where do I start? The fated mates trope is a favorite of mine—where two people are irresistibly drawn together by an unbreakable, supernatural bond. In fiction, it’s all-consuming, swoon-worthy, and layered with tension. But in real life? If someone showed up claiming destiny had decided we must be together, I’d be reaching for a restraining order.
This is a trope I love playing with in my books, especially in the fan-favorite relationships of my Dragon Lords series. These guys are the ultimate believers in love at first sight—they even have crystals that glow to tell them who they’re meant to be with. It’s excellent for futuristic fantasy, but can you imagine a stranger telling you a magic rock wants you to get married? The fun comes in exploring what happens when fate has a sense of humor—because nothing says romance like discovering your soulmate is a stubborn dragon-shifter royal who thinks fate means you belong to him.
And let’s not forget the morally gray antihero—so much fun to write, but in real life, red flags would be waving like it’s a parade. Fiction allows us to examine power, redemption, and emotional intensity in a way that’s thrilling and consequence-free. It gives us the space to ask, What if? while safely knowing we can close the book at any time.
2. Why do you think readers are drawn to themes like toxic romance and broken heroes, despite how disturbing they would be in real life?
For me, it’s the same reason I love watching horror movies. They’re exciting and fun. Fiction is a playground for the what if—a space to explore intense emotions, darker themes, and high-stakes drama without any real-world mess. Toxic traits in books can be thrilling because we know they’re not real. No one is actually signing up for a relationship with a brooding, dangerously possessive shifter or a ruthless vampire. Instead, we get to experience the emotional intensity and drama from a safe distance, all while rooting for that cathartic moment of redemption or realization.
My books delve deep into intricate worldbuilding that allows readers to experience the innermost thoughts of characters as they respond to a situation or place. In the Warlocks MacGregor series, for example, my centuries-old warlocks are powerful, charming, and used to getting their way… until love comes along to knock them down a few pegs. They’re arrogant, mischievous, and prone to magical hijinks, but that just makes it even more fun to watch them fall hard.
Then there are the broken heroes—damaged, complex, and fighting their own demons. They appeal to our innate love for transformation and hope. In Barely Breathing, the third and newest book in my Merely Mortal series, Tamara comes face-to-face with characters who carry emotional scars, some of whom have let their pasts define them, while others are desperately trying to claw their way toward something better. Fiction lets us explore those struggles without being trapped in them, allowing us to see ourselves reflected through the lens of a different world.
3. Do you try to make a character engaging and complex without romanticizing their flaws? If so, how?
Absolutely! The key is balance. I love writing morally gray characters, but their flaws have to matter—actions have consequences, and redemption isn’t handed out like free candy. If a character is controlling, manipulative, or destructive, those traits aren’t excused just because they’re attractive or have a tragic past. Instead, I make sure their flaws serve the story and push character growth rather than being framed as desirable.
For example, in Merely Mortal, Tamara encounters beings who operate by their own supernatural rules. Some of them have a warped sense of morality, but that doesn’t mean they get a free pass. She’s not afraid to call them out.
I avoid romanticizing flaws by exploring the character’s growth over the course of the story, so we see a flawed character evolve, whether that means learning from their mistakes or choosing a different path. In my Lords of the Var series, my shape-shifting heroes start out as arrogant warriors with deeply ingrained cultural ideas about power and dominance. They don’t believe in love at all, only control. Their heroines don’t let them off the hook, and watching them struggle and ultimately choose to be better men makes their romances all the more satisfying.
I also love using paranormal and fantasy elements to explore what it means to be human. My books often feature supernatural creatures grappling with their mortality, purpose, and emotions—giving readers an avenue to process their own experiences through a fantastical lens. Sometimes, it’s easier to see ourselves through the struggles of a dragon-shifter, a cursed warlock, or a vampire prince than it is to face those same emotions head-on in real life.
Would you like to add anything else?
Fiction lets us explore the messy, intense, and sometimes morally questionable aspects of love and power in a way real life never could—or should. It’s an escape, a thrill, and sometimes even a mirror reflecting our own emotions and desires in exaggerated, fantastical ways. I believe people need escapism for mental well-being, and stories have the power to transport and provide a path to self-discovery. Whether it’s a futuristic society, a haunted town, or a supernatural realm, stepping outside of reality for a while can be healing.
And, let’s be honest—sometimes we just want to watch the villain fall hard for the heroine and grovel spectacularly for redemption. I’ve written a few of those scenes, and let me tell you, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as watching a powerful, arrogant hero realize he’s absolutely wrecked without the woman he didn’t know he needed. If you love that kind of thing, I’ve got plenty of books waiting for you.
Michelle M. Pillow is a New York Times & USA Today bestselling author with books spanning paranormal romance, urban fantasy, and sci-fi. Known for her rich worldbuilding, dynamic characters, and a touch of humor, she believes fiction is the ultimate escape—whether it’s dragon-shifter royals, mischievous warlocks, or supernatural mysteries.

AI and Creatives, My Current Thoughts
Updated March 21, 2025
I deeply respect the work of artists and authors understand the concerns surrounding AI-generated content. Coming from a family of artists in multiple mediums, this is a conversation we’ve had at length. Creativity (whether in writing, filmmaking, painting, digital art, etc) takes time, skill, and passion, and I support human creatives.
As someone who has had my own work badly (oh so badly) stolen via plagiarism (CopyPasteCris stole a confirmed 12 of my books before I had to stop looking for my own mental health), I take copyright and ethical sourcing very seriously. Then there is the more recent Meta pirated books to train their AI thing (At least 189 of my book files are in the pirated training database. Yes, 189+. That’s like every book I’ve ever published in multiple editions.) I understand firsthand the frustration and harm that comes when creative work is taken without permission, which is why I’m mindful about the tools I use.
These are my current thoughts:Yes, my books have “No AI Training” in the copyright since this became an issue. It’s been ignored. They’re using pirated books to train, so they really don’t care.I use a service that actively tracks and takes down my pirated books. I’m not ok with pirating. It’s theft. Ask any prolific author: it’s an expensive, time consuming, uphill battle.Because of the nature of this and my 189+ books, I am automatically a part of the class action lawsuit going on.I spent years mentally and physically recovering from the CopyPasteCris stress, and that was 12 books by one person. I can’t do that to myself again.I’m recognized for having written and published over 100 books by RWA before AI was possible. I don’t need to prove I’m a human who can write books.I’m a working author. Full time.This toothpaste is not going back into the tube.
AI itself isn’t inherently bad—it’s a tool. For example, I love grammar check and self editing tools. (I’ve watched editors fight each other over comma placements for decades in my documents, so it’s all subjective and needs my decision in the end.) I find several tools to be useful for my job.
I will continue to work with humans for some of my book covers and professional projects. I say some because I have many times in the past made my own covers and art when the inspiration strikes, and will continue to do so. I’ve acted as my own editor. I format my books and print covers. I’ve acted as my own marketer. I’ve booked my own events. I’m also lucky to have artists, editors, and writers in my close family and friend groups that lend a hand. I’m married to a talented filmmaker. I build and maintain my own stores and website. Not much of this has changed. This is all part of being a small business owner/indie author. I work 18 hour days, 7 days a week most of the time and have for 20 years.
The real issue is how Gen AI was/is trained.
AI is in everything and isn’t going anywhere. I can either hide and quit my job, or I can try to navigate into the future. I’ve worried myself into an ulcer over it. (And to be honest, it took me a long time to recover from the CopyPastCris thing–too long, I’m still digging out of that hole) I love my job. I love creating. I don’t want to quit.
But, like I have multiple times in my career, I have to yet again adapt and figure out the best path forward. I published in ebook format when it was new and no one thought they were “real” books. I went from Trad publishing contracts to indie when everyone told me it was a stupid mistake. I pouted when camera film went digital and I didn’t want to give up my darkroom.
For the record, I do want a cleaning robot. That is one job I’m happy to quit.
AI is becoming a part of many industries and is in everything (it’s popped up in my writing software and in social media even though I didn’t ask for it). If you use AI to write in any form (yes, even on facebook or in emails or a chat bot), chances are it was trained on my 189+ and other authors’ books without our knowledge or compensation.
Am I asking you to stop using the internet? No. Like many creatives, I’m navigating how to use tech responsibly while ensuring that it doesn’t take opportunities away from creatives. I’m a full time plus creative and I have to work to pay my bills. Income is woefully down for all authors. We’re paid less for more work.
As technology evolves, I hope to see stronger copyright protections for both artists and authors. I hope that I get retroactive compensation, however unlikely, for the stolen books. Ethical AI use should respect, support, and uplift creatives, not replace or exploit them.
But I’ll say it again. We’re not putting the toothpaste back into the tube. We have to figure out a way to right what we can and work our way forward.
If you’re interested in my personal experience with the CopyPasteCris plagiarism and why I take this issue seriously, you can read more about it here: Plagiarism and Hard-Working Authors.
If you’re interested in seeing proof of the pirated books use to train AI. There’s a database for that: Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI

I appreciate the ongoing conversations happening within the creative community and value respectful discussions on this evolving topic.
Energy use is another issue that will need to be addressed by tech companies. This is not my field of expertise.
Please Note: My thoughts and feelings about this topic change constantly as new conversations and information comes to light. I adjust myself accordingly, which is why it’s so important we have this conversation and listen to each other.

These are my current thoughts:AI itself isn’t inherently bad—it’s a tool. The real issue is how it’s trained and used. That’s why I only consider AI tools that state they source data ethically, and I will continue to work with human artists for my book covers and professional projects.
