Description

New York, 1927.

Separated from the reaper she loves, Elise Saint journeys through the city alone. But with the Saint family in decline and a lethal new reaper-venom drug on the market, Harlem is more dangerous than ever. And amidst this chaos, Elise's sister, Josi, goes missing.

Layla Quinn, also reeling from her lost love, navigates the shifting alliances in the New York underworld. When an ancient reaper reappears, and a murderous beast starts terrorising the city, a mystery emerges that could help explain Josi's disappearance.

But as they are drawn back together by long-held secrets, Elise and Layla must ask themselves: is there a future for the reapers in New York And does it hold a place for their love

In this stunning conclusion to the bestselling Ravenous Fate duology, Elise and Layla confront their pasts, and find out whether there can be love after death.

Reviews

PRAISE FOR THIS RAVENOUS FATE:
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. A glorious, electrifying draught of a novel * Ava Reid, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning *
This Ravenous Fate has it all. Vampires, a tasty friends-to-enemies-to-lovers sapphic romance, and a brilliant plot filled with mystery and heartache and history. I mean, cannibalism as a metaphor for love Need I say more * Rachael Lippincott, New York Times bestselling author of She Gets the Girl *
Dennings has crafted the sweetly vicious take on vampires that we've been longing for. This book is the perfect combination of passion, violence, and longing that straddles that razor-thin line between love and hate * Gabi Burton, Sunday Times bestselling author of Sing Me To Sleep *
