Night and Nothing · #2
The Briar Queen
Twilight meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets A Midsummer Night’s Dream in this follow-up to 2014’s acclaimed THORN JACK. In this stunning debut, Finn Sullivan learns that HallowHeart really does sit on a hell mouth...
Serafina Sullivan and her father left San Francisco to escape the painful memory of her older sister Lily Rose’s suicide. But soon after she arrived in bohemian Fair Hollow, New York, Finn discovered a terrifying secret connected to Lily Rose. The placid surface of this picture-perfect town concealed an eerie supernatural world — and at its center, the wealthy, beautiful, and terrifying Fata family.
Though the striking and mysterious Jack Fata tried to push Finn away to protect her, their attraction was too powerful to resist. To save him, Finn — a girl named for the angels and a brave Irish prince — banished a cabal of malevolent enemies to shadows, freeing him from their diabolical grip.
Now, the rhythm of life in Fair Hollow is beginning to feel a little closer to ordinary. But Finn knows better than to be lulled by this comfortable sense of normalcy. It’s just the calm before the storm. For soon, a chance encounter outside the magical Brambleberry Books will lead her down a rabbit hole, into a fairy world of secrets and legacies... straight towards the shocking truth about her sister’s death.
