Synopsis

In this stunning conclusion to the bestselling Ravenous Fate duology, Elise Saint and Layla Quinn must discover the truths behind an alluring poison and the monstrous new presence ravaging New York City In 1927, shocking upheavals have rocked Harlem's most powerful factions and left Elise Saint estranged from the reaper she loves, Layla Quinn. The Saint family empire is in decline, gangster-run blood houses peddle debauchery, and a dangerous reaper-venom drug has become all the rage with wealthy thrill-seekers. Elise is desperate to find her beloved little sister, Josi, who has gone missing in the chaos. Meanwhile, Layla contends with shifting alliances in the New York underworld, including Karine, an ancient reaper, and the gangster Nicoletta—both with scores to settle. And then a terrifying new threat emerges: a beast making swift, murderous rampages through the city, keeping to darkness while hunting reapers and humans alike. Layla and Elise are joined in purpose when they suspect the monster's origins are related to a far deeper mystery that involves Josi, Karine, and a disquieting new future for reapers. Soon, they will risk everything to unearth these secrets, where the shadowy boundaries between the dead and the living are even more treacherous than they imagined.

This was a good conclusion to this duology. I thought the stakes were high in this one and the twists were done well. I like that even though at its core this is a story about a reaper and her hunter there are so many themes still being delved into like in the first book. Racism, family dynamics, me......more

Goodreads review by Morgan on October 22, 2025

I absolutely devoured the first book in this duology, but the sequel moved at a noticeably slower pace for me. I’d rate it a solid 3.5 stars, rounding up to 4. It was nice to see Layla and Elise’s relationship continue, even with all its ups and downs, but I found myself wanting more from the Josie......more
