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 her town, 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 bohemian Fair Hollow, New York, Finn discovered a
terrifying secret connected to Lily Rose. 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--a girl named for the angels and a brave Irish prince--banished a
cabal of malevolent enemies to shadows, freeing him 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 than to be lulled by this
comfortable sense of normalcy. 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 towards the shocking truth about her sister's death.
Lush and gorgeously written, featuring star-crossed lovers and the
collision of the magical and the mundane, Briar Queen will appeal to the
fans of Cassandra Clare's bestselling Mortal Instruments series and
Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely.
