The instant New York Times bestseller
Can you love the dark when you know what it hides?
Some things aren’t supposed to exist outside of our imagination.
Thirteen years ago, monsters emerged from the shadows and plunged Kierse’s world into a cataclysmic war of near-total destruction. The New York City she knew so well collapsed practically overnight.
In the wake of that carnage, the Monster Treaty was created. A truce...of sorts.
But tonight, Kierse—a gifted and fearless thief—will break that treaty. She’ll enter the Holly Library...not knowing it’s the home of a monster.
He’s charming. Quietly alluring. Terrifying. But he knows talent when he sees it; it’s just a matter of finding her price.
Now she’s locked into a dangerous bargain with a creature unlike any other. She’ll sacrifice her freedom. She’ll offer her skills. Together, they’ll put their own futures at risk.
But he’s been playing a game across centuries—and once she joins in, there will be
no escape...

The characters were so well-developed that I felt like I knew them personally. Each one had their own unique personality and backstory, making them feel real and relatable. I found myself deeply invested in their journeys, rooting for their successes and feeling their struggles. The protagonist, in particular, was brilliantly written, with a complexity that made them both flawed and endearing.
The writing style was another highlight for me. The author has a way with words that is both poetic and accessible, painting vivid pictures with their descriptions and bringing the story to life in my mind. The dialogue was natural and engaging, adding to the authenticity of the characters and their interactions.
One of the things I loved most about this story was its ability to evoke a wide range of emotions. There were moments of joy and laughter, as well as scenes that brought tears to my eyes. The themes explored were thought-provoking and resonated with me on a deep level, making me reflect on my own experiences and perspectives.
Overall, this story was an absolute delight to read. Itâs one of those books that stays with you long after youâve turned the last page. I absolutely loved it and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a compelling and beautifully written story.
I was excited that this book ended in a way that obviously points to a series unfurling. I usually don't mess with series (despite my favorite books being series...don't ask) but count me invested in this one! I want the collector's edition but I am a broke b, so I just lovingly stare at it on display at the library, hoping someone else checks it out and enjoys it as much as I did.
