Why readers love strong heroines like vengeance demon Kali Sweet—because saving the world and feeling deeply aren’t mutually exclusive.
Strong Women, Soft Hearts: What Makes Kali Sweet Unforgettable
She’s a vengeance demon who drinks espresso like it’s holy water, carries emotional scars deeper than hellfire, and still manages to save humanity from the monsters in the dark—including the ones like herself.
Meet Kali Sweet—one of the most complex heroines I’ve ever written.
In the Kali Sweet Urban Fantasy series, Kali walks the razor’s edge between vengeance and compassion. She’s tough enough to punch through a brick wall, yet tender enough to cry when she can’t save someone she loves. (Just… don’t tell her I said that. She’ll hex me.)
What I love most about writing characters like Kali is this: Strength isn’t the absence of feeling. It’s the ability to feel deeply and still keep going.
Yes, Kali slays demons (literally). Yes, she’s been betrayed, broken, and banished. But she still chooses to protect humans—even when it costs her everything. That, to me, is the definition of badass.
Too often, strong women in fiction are written as emotionally shut down or only tough because of trauma. Kali is different. She owns her damage. She weaponizes her grief. And she doesn’t let anyone tell her who or what she should be—including the vampire who loves her or the Institute that tries to control her.
She is power with purpose. And she’s not here to be your fantasy—she’s here to be your reckoning.
