AT NIGHT IN HARLEM, THE JAZZ CLUBS COME TO LIFE, AND DEATH WAITS IN THE DARK. It's 1926, and reapers are growing stronger everywhere. Created centuries ago by cruel medical experiments, these once-human vampires are driven to attack without mercy. Those who protect the city from them hold more power than even the organized criminals who run the nightclubs. As the reluctant heir to her father's reaper-hunting empire, Elise Saint knows that the Harlem reapers want her dead. Among them is Layla Quinn, who lost her parents, the protection of the Saints, and her humanity the night she was turned into a reaper. And she'll never forget how Elise Saint betrayed her. A wave of mysterious killings shocks the city, forcing Elise and Layla to work together to find out if some reapers are turning human again—or becoming even deadlier. As their investigation takes them from glittering parties to gangster underworlds, the two must confront their complicated feelings for each other. For a new kind of evil is on the rise, one that will destroy reapers and humans alike if they don't stop it. "A blood-soaked tale of ancestral rage, forbidden love, and dangerous magic, with a richly imagined setting as alive as any character. Deliciously dark and beautifully vicious, This Ravenous Fate is the vampire romance I've been waiting for."—Ava Reid, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning
