Where to Begin Your Albany Walker Journey
Albany Walker has built a dedicated following in the indie romance community by blending supernatural thrills, reverse harem (why-choose) setups, and gritty contemporary suspense. Because her books span several distinct subgenres and universes, readers have two fantastic entry points depending on their personal reading tastes.
For fans of supernatural romance, the best starting point is Becoming His (2018). As Walker's debut novel, this standalone shifter romance introduces her signature style: high emotional stakes, flawed characters fighting for their happily-ever-afters, and a slow-burn romance that keeps you turning pages. If you prefer dark, contemporary romance with a college backdrop, you should start with the Corrupt Credence trilogy, beginning with Made in Malice (2023).
