Who is Avina
St. Graves?
From an early age, romance author Avina St. Graves spent her days imagining fantasy worlds and dreamy fictional men, which spurred on her introverted tendencies.
In all her day dreaming, there seemed to be a reoccurring theme of morally grey female characters, love interests who belonged in prison, and unnecessary trauma and bloodshed.
"I don’t even need to know what it is about. I do know it will make me re-examine my life and morals and I’m perfectly okay with that."

"It must be in the name, because I’m obsessed.
Letum is the ultimate Death/ Shadow Daddy and I will not be hearing otherwise."

"I 1000% recommend this to anyone looking for a profound, spicy, short, and captivating story about a girl being stalked by Death. The obsession for this book is just as deep as the obsession that Death has with Lilith."

"I need a masked man — more specifically ROMAN RIVIERA — because he's so ridiculously unhinged that I'm in love with him. He's the BEST PART of this book. He's the hottest mmc ever. 🥵 If he asked me to bark, I'll definitely bark! I'll gladly do anything. I devoured this book, It's the best dark romance book I've read this year. I haven't felt this addicted to a book this whole year. I'd devour anything by this author atp 😭"
— Reader review from Skin of a Sinner
"Avina St. Graves has such a fantastic ability to make a short book feel so much better, so much more well-founded with a stronger character and plot foundation that I have seen in some books twice the length. Yes, Scorpion is pretty fast-paced but fuck me if I wasn't inhaling it like air, her words the literal thing keeping me alive."

"Wowowowo this booook!!!! 🤌🏻🤌🏻 I don’t think I ever highlighted a book so much in my life🤣 I LOVE an unhinged FMC, I loved the banter and I just love an untraditional relationship 🖤
This book has definitely became one of my favorites and I can’t wait to reread it again 🤪😭
Kohen and Blaze were a match made in hell and they are absolutely perfect together. 🔥 I even got a little teary eyed at the end 🥹"
