It’s no surprise that growing up, Annika’s dad referred to her as an “indoor cat.” Either lost in the pages of a romance novel or writing frantic notes on magic systems, Annika lives and breathes stories—particularly if there’s a hot love interest to sweeten the deal! Annika spends her days writing with her two cats in Vancouver, British Columbia.

I have the pleasure of reading chapter one from her debut novel, Spark of Pursuit – A Veilfall #1.

Aravenna Kalladine isn’t just used to keeping secrets; she is one. Publicly, she’s the jilted heir of the world’s largest anti-magic arms company, as Mortal as her late parents and those they protected from dangerous Immortals. But privately, Ara’s guarding a truth that could bring that legacy crumbling she has magic. And when a shipment of dangerous weaponry is stolen, she’s forced to put her secret at risk—so long as nobody sees her face.
Detective Graydon Marr doesn’t believe the rumours. Tasked with recovering Kalla Technologies’ missing weapons, he doesn’t have time to worry about spark-wielding vigilantes. But when he comes face-to-mask with the woman herself, something deeper than intrigue clicks between them. The vigilante is his soul bound—a rare, fated love Graydon’s spent centuries believing he wouldn’t find. Even worse? She’s a suspect.
