The Book of Night by Holly Black... Even your shadow can be stolen. Charlie Hall has never found a lock she couldn't open, a book she couldn't steal, or a bad decision she didn't make. She's spent half her life working for Shadow Wizards, who manipulate shadows to sneak into locked rooms, strangle people in their beds, or worse. Shadow Wizards are very careful about keeping their secrets, creating an underground economy based on dangerous magical books and texts. And to rob their fellow wizards, they need Charlie Hall. Now Charlie is trying to distance herself from the mistakes of the past, but her job as a barmaid at a seedy speakeasy keeps her too close to the underworld of high-rolling wizards and Shadow Dealers. What's more, her sister, Posie, longs to practice magic, and Charlie's shadowless, and possibly soulless, friend, Vince, has been keeping many things from her. When a horrific figure from her past returns to present-day Earth, Charlie is drawn into a new spiral of murder and lies. In her quest for survival, Charlie faces off against a coterie of independent shadows, corrupt billionaires, shadow magicians, and the people she loves most in the world; all trying to steal a secret that will give them terrible power. "A gripping, exciting, and surprising novel. I'm already eager to see Charlie Hole's next trick." - Alex E. Harrow, international bestselling author
