A witch with no power captured by four vicious, possessive, sinfully hot gargoyles… Not exactly the makings of a happy ending. Yet here in the arms of New York’s most brutal monsters, I’ve never felt so safe. So cherished. As we work to obliterate our enemies and solve the mysteries of my past—a past that very well holds the key to unlocking my lost magic and breaking their curse—my gargoyles and I have grown impossibly close. But with every enemy destroyed and clue uncovered, through every searing kiss and filthy, forbidden touch, something dark is awakening inside me. Something... hungry. The gargoyles told me that committing violence takes something from you—and they would know. But for me? I’m pretty sure it’s giving something back. Something I’ve been missing for far too long.
