"Dark and disturbingly beautiful conclusion to the series"

Fresh Fiction Review

Nettle King

Fantasy

Finn Sullivan's world has been turned completely upside down since her move to Fair Hollow, a village where the lines between our world and the faerie world often blur. She's lost and regained a sister, gained and lost her love, and kept far too many secrets from her father and her new friends. Now, she's determined to find Jack no matter what the consequences. Unfortunately, something dark has entered Fair Hollow, something resembling Jack but full of evil. Will Finn uncover what is going on or will she fall victim to the evil creature that is stalking and killing residents of Fair Hollow?

NETTLE KING is the third and concluding book in the Night and Nothing trilogy and I highly suggest readers start at the beginning of this series. Katherine Harbour's lushly detailed world is absolutely captivating and you don't want to miss a single nuance of this world's dark beauty. NETTLE KING's faerie world is complex, full of ever-changing alliances, but we still see the hope and beauty that shine despite the unexpected twists and turns.

Finn has proven herself to be a risk taker, time and again, particularly if it's to protect or save someone for whom she cares. NETTLE KING shows just how far Finn will go as this is perhaps the darkest book in the Night and Nothing trilogy. I can't help but love Finn for her exploits, however, as she allows her heart to guide her even on the most perilous journeys.

Katherine Harbour crafts a vibrant, lyrical and literate trilogy with the Night and Nothing series. I don't want to let go of the series or the characters as we see the conclusion of this ever so brilliant series. If you like your faerie tales dark and disturbingly beautiful, then don't miss Katherine Harbour's masterful Night and Nothing series!

SUMMARY

The mesmerizing conclusion to the Night and Nothing series—part Buffy the Vampire Slayer and part Alice in Wonderland—finds Finn fighting against the land of the dead.

When her beloved Jack disappears, Finn vows to find him—even if it means a daring odyssey into the land of the dead. But saving Jack comes at a terrible price: a dangerous fissure has opened, giving the dead access to the true world.

The lines between worlds are more blurred than ever. Finn’s sister, Lily, recently returned from the Ghostlands, seems to bear no scars from her time there. But then their friend Moth returns from Sombrus, the magical house once owned by Seth Lot, bearing shocking news. Something evil—a fearsome creature bearing a striking resemblance to Jack—has escaped Sombrus and is now stalking Fair Hollow, killing everyone it encounters, transforming them into terrifying Jacks and Jills and recruiting the Unseelie.

It will not stop until it gets what it wants . . .

Finn.
