Synopsis

The highly anticipated sequel to the #1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black's stunning adult debut, Book of Night. This program features multicast narration.

"[Narrator Sara] Amini's narration captures Charlie's trademark cynicism, as well as her heartbreak and feelings of vulnerability... As more characters are introduced, Amini expertly differentiates them, including several sinister-sounding shadows." — AudioFile (Earphones Award Winner)

Night is made of shadows and shadows have teeth.

Charlie Hall, glue trap for disaster, crooked from the day she was born, who’d never met a bad decision she wasn’t willing to double down on, may have finally met her match.

After defeating Salt and stealing her lover—the powerful shadow, Vince—back from under the noses of the powerful Cabal leaders, she thought she’d won. Agreeing to become the Hierophant and risking her life hunting down dangerous rogue shadows seemed a small price to pay if she got to do it while being tethered to Vince.

But Vince is no longer the man she loved. The tethering process wiped away his memories of the last year, leaving only Red—the ruthless shadow who spent years as a killer for a cruel, mercurial billionaire. Red doesn’t remember Charlie and doesn’t like her.

So when Charlie is ordered to track down the Blight responsible for a massacre at a local church, she’s worse than just alone, heartbroken, and outmatched. She’s vulnerable. In a world where shadows have wills of their own, the question isn’t just how to survive. It’s how to protect yourself from the one thing you can never escape—your own shadow.

Imagine falling in love with your shadow Charlie was a liar and a con artist. Red was a Shadow, her ex-boyfriend who wasn’t really, and bound to her. Oh, and he needs her blood to thrive.

A great close to the duology of the book of night. What I absolutely recommend is if you read book 1 a while ago (2-3 years) then definitely do a re read before starting book two as it immediately jumps in to where things left off and if book 1 isn’t fresh in your memory you may regret not going bac......more
