The Masks of Under box set includes the first three novels of the dark paranormal fantasy series by Kathryn Ann Kingsley.Everything about my life had been pretty ordinary, until the day I woke up with a mysterious symbol tattooed on my arm.Suddenly, normal no longer existed. The barrier between Earth and a world called Under, dissolved.Now, I’m trapped in a realm ruled by two masked kings—one … by two masked kings—one hellbent on killing me while the other is determined to keep me alive. But here in the world of Under nothing is as it seems and trusting the wrong person can get you killed.
War rages among the masked kings and I can sense something terrible is coming. Something bigger and stronger than all of us. I can feel it in my blood, like I’m somehow connected to Under in a way I can’t explain.
I just hope I find my place in this world…before it’s too late.

Read all 6 books!! Don’t stop at the first 3! Must read all 6 books in order!
At the time of this posting, this entire series is available on Kindle Unlimited. Don’t have a subscription to KU, well, here’s another tip. This first three books are currently available as a boxed set for only $.99. Hopefully, the next three will soon be sold the same way. The last time I checked Amazon was even doing a 3 month KU subscription for $1.99 for new subscribers. So really, what are you waiting for?
You’re welcome! Why did I just say that? Well, I think you will be thanking me soon enough for recommending this awesome series. Don’t let the numerous sequels listed below scare you away, folks. I’m not normally a fan of cliffhanger endings that keep tugging at me and my purse strings to keep coughing up time and money to get to a conclusion. This go around both are totally worth it! Each book has a completely different feel to it as the plot and main characters keep evolving and moving into unexpected territory.
Yes, you absolutely must read these books in order. You’ll be cheating yourself out of important multi-character/continuous unfolding plot development if you do. So, seriously, no short cuts, OK? You’ll be walking around dazed and confused otherwise, and who wants to do that? Answer – nobody.
What you get here is a Greek mythology touch type backdrop in a world that is out of this world with a power struggle to the very finish. Interlaced with a romantic plot where the seemingly anti-hero seems likely to love this heroine to death. There is another male character you might be briefly tricked into thinking he is going to be the love interest. Thankfully, he is not. You guessed it. I didn’t like that sub-character at first. However, even he eventually was given a whole different side to character that turned him into a good guy. We just didn’t know his side of the story for some time.
On a parting note, here’s a quick teaser tip from the opening chapter of Book 1. The heroine’s job is to perform autopsies to determine cause of death. Well, I guess that is obvious. She isn’t doing it for fun, after all. She often works alone in a dark, creepy basement surrounded by dead people. Well, she’s about to get down to business and the body on the table comes alive and … Well, you’re going to have to jump in yourself to see how abduction, murder, and mayhem have this mere mortal heroine showing the supernatural world what grit, perseverance, determination, and self-sacrifice look like. Make no mistake…There will be blood. Some characters are killed off, while others live on when it seems impossible. Some morph into unexpected, unrecognizable ways they never imagined.
Enough said…Time for you to decide if you’re up to peeking behind the masks that make up this paranormal series that is loaded with twists and turns I never saw coming.
