Zusatztext "Combining the sorcery of The Night Circus with the malefic suspense of A Secret History...a beguiling fusion of love! fantasy! and myth that echoes the imaginative artistry of the works of Neil Gaiman! Cassandra Clare! and Melissa Marr." Informationen zum Autor Katherine Harbour was born in Albany, New York, and has been writing since she was seventeen. She is the author of Thorn Jack and Briar Queen , the first two books in the Night and Nothing series, and is a bookseller in Sarasota, Florida. Klappentext The dark, moody, and mystical fantasy begun in Thorn Jack , the first novel in the Night and Nothing series, continues in this bewitching follow-up—an intriguing blend of Twilight , Buffy the Vampire Slayer , Alice in Wonderland , and A Midsummer Night's Dream —in which Finn Sullivan discovers that the town of Fair Hollow borders a dangerous otherworld . . . Serafina Sullivan and her father left San Francisco to escape the painful memory of her older sister Lily Rose's suicide. But soon after she arrived in the bohemian Fair Hollow, New York, Finn realized that the placid surface of this picture-perfect town concealed an eerie supernatural world—and at its center, the wealthy, beautiful, and terrifying Fata family. Though the striking and mysterious Jack Fata tried to push Finn away to protect her, their attraction was too powerful to resist. To save him, Finn banished a cabal of malevolent enemies to the shadows, freeing them both from their diabolical grip. Now the rhythm of life in Fair Hollow is beginning to feel a little closer to ordinary. But Finn knows better—it's just the calm before the storm. For soon, a chance encounter outside the magical Brambleberry Books will lead her down a rabbit hole, into a fairy world of secrets and legacies . . . straight toward the shocking truth about her sister's death.
