<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>'First-class imagination and first-class storytelling' </b><b>Jeff Vandermeer, bestselling author of the Southern Reach trilogy</b><br><b><br>Walking between the worlds has always been dangerous - but this time V's facing the loss of all she holds dear.</b> <p/>Verity Fassbinder thought no boss could be worse than her perfectionist ex-boyfriend - until she agreed to work for a fallen angel. The angel is a jealous - and <i>violent </i>- employer, so she's quit working for the Weyrd Council and sent her family away. <p/> The angel has tasked V with finding two lost treasures. That would be hard even without a vengeful Dusana Nadasy on her heels. And Inspector McIntyre won't stop calling: the bodies of Normal women who disappeared decades ago are turning up, apparently subjected to Weyrd magics. Angelic demands or not, this isn't something V can walk away from. <p/><b>And the angel is getting impatient for results . . .</b><br><b><br>'</b><b>Slatter at her finest hour'</b><b><i>Thoughts by Tash</i></b></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>A</b><b> fantastic read</b>, with a heroine who <b>captured my heart</b>.
