New York City, 1990: When you slip through the cracks, no one is there to catch you. Monique learns that the hard way after her girlfriend Donna vanishes without a trace.

Only after the disappearances of several other impoverished women does Monique hear the rumors. A taloned monster stalks the city’s underground and snatches victims into the dark.

Donna isn’t missing. She was taken.

To save the woman she loves, Monique must descend deeper than the known underground, into a subterranean world of enigmatic cultists and shadowy creatures. But what she finds looms beyond her wildest fears—a darkness that stretches from the dawn of time and across the stars.

    Ah I’ve had this on my list for a while now. This is a good reminder to maybe bump it up again because it still sounds so good!

    I haven’t read this book and have no comment on its quality, but the visuals made me think it was a new entry in the Kingkiller Chronicles as I scrolled past.
