Book of Night By Holly Black

In Holly Black's adult debut, "Book of Night" master thief Charlie Hall navigates a world of shadows, secret societies, and treacherous magic. Employed by gloamists, manipulators of shadows and secrets, Charlie's criminal past haunts her. Seeking redemption, she tends bar in the Berkshires but remains entangled in a web of corruption. Family ties, a mysterious boyfriend, and a dark figure from her history complicate her escape.

The story unfolds against the backdrop of a shadowy underworld fueled by grimoires and the insatiable desire for power. As Charlie confronts her shadowless and possibly soulless boyfriend, hidden truths emerge. A storm of murder and deception ensues when a malevolent figure resurfaces.

Charlie's survival becomes a high-stakes game, pitting her against doppelgangers, elusive billionaires, and the very people she holds dear. The quest for a coveted secret drives the narrative, promising vast and terrible power to whoever possesses it.

In Black's signature style, "Book of Night" weaves a tapestry of betrayal, intrigue, and the supernatural, drawing readers into a modern dark fantasy reminiscent of Neil Gaiman and Erin Morgenstern. The absence of Digital Rights Management Software invites readers to immerse themselves freely in this gripping tale of shadows, secrets, and the indomitable spirit of a dissolute thief. 📚❤️
