'I will never forget my first time reading Holly Black. Determined to survive, she's up against a cast of doppelgängers, mercurial billionaires, gloamists, and the people she loves best in the world - all trying to steal a secret that will allow them control of the shadow world and more. When a terrible figure from her past returns, Charlie descends back into a maelstrom of murder and lies.

Not to mention that her sister Posey is desperate for magic, and that her shadowless and possibly soulless boyfriend has been keeping secrets from her. Bartending at a dive, she's still entirely too close to the corrupt underbelly of the Berkshires. Now, she's trying to distance herself from past mistakes, but going straight isn't easy. And to rob their fellow magicians, they need Charlie. For the most part, I’d say that it is a success Especially if you enjoy dark, atmospheric fantasy.

Gloamists guard their secrets greedily, creating an underground economy of grimoires.
