Synopsis

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

Listen, I love the premise of this book and a lot of the ideas in it - sapphic Black vampires set in 1920's Harlem is right up my alley.

I thought I’d be placing this lovingly next to my copy of Carmilla. Vampires and lesbians just go together, ya know? Unfortunately, I don’t think that will happen. I loved the atmosphere. It felt beautiful and vibrant but also dark and gritty. Jazz age and crime noir. It did lean a little more toward......more

i struggled with this a bit, the plot was very slow to where sometimes i felt i had to feel like i had to push through to finish the book, i really wanted to complete it to give it a review. i think the writing is beautiful but the plot wasn’t something i necessarily care for and i didn’t connect wi......more

This was such a good fantasy read and now I'm not going to shut up about the book. It takes place in the 1920's in Harlem and the vibes and setting are so thought out and written well. In this world, there are vampires, reapers, humans, gangs, and vampire hunters. The main characters Layla and Elise......more
