Lindsey Sparks aka Lindsey Fairleigh? She's openly admitted that she lied about who she is, but I get the point even less as to why she's now admitting her deceit. Go figure. Only recently have I read of a scandal in Spain where three men were 'outed' as it were, as impersonating a female author - one they invented to sell novels. Admittedly fiction breeds fiction, and one may well ask, if we're writing lies for entertainment, why does it matter if we lie about who writes the lies? It turns out that author Carmen Mola is really Agustín Martínez, Antonio Mercero, and Jorge Díaz! They won an award!
Actual female author Beatriz Gimeno complained that It wasn't just the name, it was the fake profile they used to deceive readers and journalists. She called them scammers. How is what they did any different from what literally scores of writers have been doing for years? You may say, well they crossed a line when they changed gender, but what was it Joanne Rowling did after Harry Potter? She started a series of novels writing as a man: Robert Galbraith! 'He' even has 'his' own website! What the Spanish authors did is no different. It's a deliberate attempt to deceive and mislead readers for the sake of selling books. I've documented over a dozen of these in my reviews, and I'm sure there are scores more.
The 'chronicles' in the title is an automatic rejection from me, and that's even before I read the blurb! "When her brother goes missing, former assassin and immortal Kat is promptly pulled out of retirement." So it's another 'someone coming out of retirement', because "only I can fix it" trumped up, retreaded clone of a story. "Facing a slew of old enemies and her own demons" plus a main character haunted by demons! And the charcter's name is the tired and over-used Kat? Really? How old is this whole idea? How trope? How overdone is it? How boring? How unimaginative is it? How uninventive? Barf.
