Angel Leya
Angel Leya writes YA fantasy, from fairytale to urban to epic. A Readers’ Favorite 5-star recipient and coauthor of the Shifter Academy world—including the USA Today bestselling series, The Siren Prophecy—Leya has been inspired by authors such as Tamora Pierce, Stephanie Garber, and Leigh Bardugo.
Her earliest memories of reading include waking up before homeschool to her mother reading books, reading in exchange for pizza (yum!), and staying up past her bedtime to read “just one more chapter.”
Her recurring dreams of meeting a swoon-worthy OTP (one true pairing)—which started when she was a young adult, and didn’t stop even after getting married and having four kids—are what started her writing journey and are probably the reason she’s such a fan of slow-burn romance.
Writing her first novel started Angel on a journey of dreaming up and telling stories that has turned into a passion that has carried her through years and shows no sign of stopping.
When not reading or writing, Leya obsesses over Asian fantasy dramas and stunning book covers, and cheers herself up with sparkling crowns, mythical elf ears, and dark chocolate. She’s a huge fan of k-pop group, Stray Kids, and even her youngest sings along with her from time to time.
If you love “clean” young adult stories with at least a little magic and a healthy dose of romance, then you’ll love Angel Leya’s stories.
