The Night Hunt

From Alexandra Christo, the author of To Kill a Kingdom, comes The Night Hunt, a dark fantasy romance about a monstrous girl who feeds on fear and the Gods-cursed boy who falls in love with her.

Atia is a monster who feeds on fear. As the last of her kind, she hides in the shadows of the world to escape the wrath of the unpredictable Gods. Silas is a Herald, carrying messages and ferrying the dead as punishment for a past he can’t remember. Stripped of his true name, he yearns to recover his identity.

Atia would never dream of allying with someone like him, but when she breaks a sacred law and the Gods send monsters to hunt her, Silas offers an irresistible deal: he’ll help avenge her family and take on the Gods who now hunt her, if she helps him break his curse and restore his humanity. All they need to do is kill three powerful creatures: a vampire, a banshee, and one of the very Gods who destroyed both their lives. Only together can they finally rewrite their destinies.

Christo excels at world-building and creativity in The Night Hunt. While some of the story and characters are based on mythology, she takes it to the next level with the “found family” trope with some plot twists and betrayal sprinkled in. The story is well-paced and the characters are enjoyable and endearing. Even though the romance between Atia and Silas was a bit weak, I still ship them. They’re heartbreaking backstories make their connection that much more meaningful, along with the bonds they develop with others.
