THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS meets THE GILDED WOLVES in this historical romantic fantasy!
'SWEETLY VICIOUS' Gabi Burton
'DELICIOUSLY DARK' Ava Reid
New York, 1926. Reapers - once-human vampires - stalk the shadows.
The Saint family has reigned over the city for years, protecting its inhabitants through their thriving reaper-hunting enterprise. But reluctant heir Elise Saint faces a chilling threat: the Harlem reapers want her dead.
When new reaper Layla Quinn was turned, she lost her parents, the protection of the saints, and her humanity - and she'll never forget how Elise Saint betrayed her.
Now reapers are inexplicably turning part-human, leaving grisly murders in their wake. And when Layla is framed for one of these attacks, the Saint patriarch offers a deal she can't refuse: work with Elise to discover how the murders might be linked to rumours of a reaper cure.
Once close friends, now bitter enemies, Elise and Layla explore the city's underbelly, confronting their feelings for one another and uncovering sinister truths that threaten both reapers and humans alike.

Reviews
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 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 *
