Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match" where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It's our great pleasure to present Kelley Armstrong
Writes:
Just about anything. I love reading all the genres, so I write in a lot of them. One of my favorites is thrillers, and while series are a great way to dive deep into character and worldbuilding, sometimes I’m in the mood to pen a standalone tale. EVERY STEP SHE TAKES is one of those. As a teenager, Genevieve was at the center of a celebrity scandal. Fifteen years later, she’s happily living in Rome under a new name. A letter from her old life disrupts that and sends her back to New York…running from a murder charge. There’s also a romance snuck in there.
About:
As much as I actually do like long romantic walks, I’m even happier curled up with my dog and a book, in front of a roaring fire. I divide my time between southern Ontario and the Yukon, which means dividing it between holing up to write and getting out in nature, being a little more active for our brief summer months. When I’m not reading or writing, I’m probably baking or playing video games while telling myself that the garden doesn’t need weeding that badly.
My ideal reader match is somebody who’s looking for:
- a high-stakes thriller
- an unexpected romance
- twists at every turn
- a love letter to both Rome and New York
- mysteries that unfold in both the past and the present
- damaged characters finally ready to confront their past, the harm done to them and the harm they inadvertently did to others
What to expect if we're compatible:
- an endless backlist to explore
- fast-paced thrillers with banter and heart
- lots of found family and tight-knit communities
- plenty of dogs and cats (in the books and in my social media posts)
From New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong comes an edge-of-your-seat riveting thriller that will keep you turning the pages until the very end.
Genevieve lives a quiet life in Rome. Nice apartment, cute boyfriend, respectful neighbours. She can be exactly who she wants to be, and no one asks her any questions.
But they should. Because Genevieve is a woman with secrets. And one is soon to be uncovered.
After returning home from a grocery run, her front door swings open, unlocked. She knows she locked it when she left. She has no doubt. Inside, everything is just as she left it… except for a small box on her kitchen table, postmarked from the US. A box addressed to "Lucy Callahan." A name she hasn't used in ten years.
With her old life calling her back, threatening to destroy the peace she has curated, Genevieve is faced with two options – confront the past, or keep running. But maybe she’ll have to choose both.

Kelley Armstrong believes experience is the best teacher, though she’s been told this shouldn’t apply to writing her murder scenes. To craft her books, she has studied aikido, archery and fencing. She sucks at all of them. She has also crawled through very shallow cave systems and climbed half a mountain before chickening out. She is however an expert coffee drinker and a true connoisseur of chocolate-chip cookies.
