About the Phenomenal Fate series

Phenomenal Fate is a three-book paranormal romance series -- a genre departure from Tessa Bailey's usual small-town and workplace contemporaries -- following a found family of supernatural beings (a resurrected man, a vampire-slayer heiress, a vampire, a fairy) navigating both otherworldly politics and very ordinary romantic entanglements. Each book pairs a human or human-adjacent heroine with a supernatural love interest, wrapping Bailey's blunt, high-heat banter around vampire hierarchies, embalming-table resurrections, and Renaissance-fair-adjacent whimsy, all played with the same comic, self-aware energy she brings to her contemporaries.

Published independently between 2020 and 2021, the series opens with Reborn Yesterday, in which funeral director Ginny Lynn's quiet life is upended when a startlingly handsome dead man sits up on her embalming table, and continues through vampire-slayer heiress Roksana's reluctant romance with a vampire in This Time Tomorrow, before closing with a cigar-smoking vampire Uber driver falling for the fairy he's tasked with driving to her own wedding in Today Tomorrow and Always. It's a smaller, more niche corner of Bailey's catalogue, but a genuine change of pace for readers who want her voice applied to full paranormal romance rather than contemporary small-town settings.

How to read this series
