How Cruel Shifterverse Began
Jasmine Mas, a former lawyer and Georgetown graduate with a passion for strong heroines, launched the Cruel Shifterverse in 2022 with Psycho Shifters. Inspired by her love for fantasy romance and complex character dynamics, Mas crafted a world where shifters aren’t just warriors—they’re monsters with secrets. Her background as a Division 1 athlete shines through in the series’ intense training scenes and themes of pushing physical and emotional limits. The series quickly gained traction on platforms like TikTok, where Mas connects with fans, sharing sneak peeks and character art.
The Heart of Cruel Shifterverse
The series kicks off with Psycho Shifters (2022), where Sadie, a former servant turned alpha, battles skepticism from her towering, tattooed roommates—Jax, Ascher, and Cobra—as they train to fight fae invaders. In Psycho Fae (2022), the stakes escalate as Sadie and her team enter the lethal Fae Games, unraveling secrets that threaten their survival. Psycho Beasts (2022) takes readers to Serpentine City, a mafia-ruled hub where pack dynamics and romance reach a boiling point. Psycho Academy (2023) shifts focus to Aran, a disguised queen navigating a brutal war academy.
Cruel Shifterverse thrives on themes of resilience, identity, and found family, wrapped in a dark, humorous tone. The multiverse setting—spanning shifter realms, fae gladiator arenas, and mafia cities—creates a rich backdrop for Sadie’s journey of self-discovery. Mas’s writing balances steamy slow-burn romance with gritty action, while her heroines, like Sadie and Aran, challenge stereotypes with their emotional depth and physical prowess. Fans praise the series’ unique take on the Omegaverse, where shifters transform into distinct beasts, adding a fresh twist to the genre.
