‘He leaned in close. Then, he whispered in my ear.
"I'm not going to kill you."
It was the first time I'd heard his voice, the rich, velvety timbre, and it sent my pulse racing.’
After escaping the horrific life as a gladiator, Arianna tries to make some semblance of a life with her best friend. Being supernatural in London at this time is illegal, so staying on the DL is vital. Arianna finds herself on the hit list of Ruadan aka the wraith. After an altercation with her he decides to let her live on the condition she comes to the Institute of the Shadow Fae and earns a position there by fighting in a brutal competition.
I love C.N. Crawford’s books. She always creates a unique world and a story that keeps you on your toes. I am not usually a fan of modern-day fantasies, but this series is in a post-apocalyptic world, which I love.
