About this listen

 THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS meets THE GILDED WOLVES in this historical romantic fantasy!

'SWEETLY VICIOUS' Gabi Burton

'DELICIOUSLY DARK' Ava Reid

SOMETIMES TRUE LOVE DEFIES DEATH ITSELF.

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.©2024 Hayley Dennings (P)2024 Hodder & Stoughton Limited 20th Century Fantasy Historical Fiction Paranormal Reaper City Fiction

Critic reviews

'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)

Captivating queer urban fantasy romance

Separately, This Ravenous Fate is a better vampire story and a better romance than most. Together it becomes a story of blood and hate grown out of a love that neither of the heroines can accept, in the midst of the generational trauma of 1920s Harlem's black community.

It's not perfect. The prose becomes awkward in places, as does the narration. But the story will captivate you, and you will care for the characters and their struggles.

All in all, as either a queer romance or an urban fantasy, This Ravenous Fate is well worth your time and your money.
