Welcome back to Harker Academy for Deviant Defense, where the line between hunter and hunted has never been thinner.
Viv Abbot will do whatever it takes to rescue Reid Graveheart, the reformed Brood demon she loves—even if it means teaming up with his violent, unpredictable older brother, Deacon. Her uneasy truce with him offers Viv something Reid never could: the chance to embrace her darkness.
As the search for Reid intensifies, Viv and her friends must maintain appearances on Harker grounds while wading into Astera's seedy underbelly with none other than the White Stag as their guide. But when a bounty on Viv's head puts those she cares about most in danger, Viv will be forced to go to lengths she never dreamed in order to protect them.
With enemies closing in from all sides and a ticking clock on her life, Viv must save the Half City from destruction while surviving a betrayal that strikes at the heart of everything she’s fighting for. Because in a world where monsters wear familiar faces and temptation cuts deeper than any blade, making it through her second semester at Harker will take more than skill—it will take everything Viv has left to give. Who can she really trust in a city that thrives on lies?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Mythological monsters stalk the streets of a city built around a chasm to the underworld in this action-packed if familiar romantasy series launch from Golden (If Not for My Baby). Born a hunter, Vivienne "Viv" Abbot spends her days working at the Windsor museum and her nights stalking demonic beings known as deviants. When she's offered a spot at Harker Academy for Deviant Defense, she's hesitant. Hunting solo has been working out just fine—never mind the fact that she's just barely maintaining her job and relationships—and Viv fears revealing herself as an aeon, a hunter with bloodlust so strong that when there are no deviants to kill, they turn on mortals. But the school may hold the truth about her father's murder, a possibility too tempting to pass up. Between keeping her identity hidden, hunting monsters, resisting her attraction to the dangerous Reid Graveheart, and untangling the conspiracy brewing at Harker, the tension stays high throughout. While Viv's world doesn't feel particularly fresh, the characters are fully realized, and all the loose threads come together neatly in the end. Both Viv's platonic and romantic relationships are well drawn, and she makes for a flawed but easy to root for protagonist. Paranormal romance readers will enjoy the fast-paced plot and sizzling chemistry.
