New Bites: The Shadow Society by Marie Rutkoski

The Shadow Society by Marie Rutkoski comes out today.



Darcy Jones doesn’t remember anything before the day she was
abandoned as a child outside a Chicago firehouse. She has never really
belonged anywhere—but she couldn’t have guessed that she comes from an
alternate world where the Great Chicago Fire didn’t happen and deadly
creatures called Shades terrorize the human population.



Memories
begin to haunt Darcy when a new boy arrives at her high school, and he
makes her feel both desire and desired in a way she hadn’t thought
possible. But Conn’s interest in her is confusing. It doesn’t line up
with the way he first looked at her.



As if she were his enemy.



When
Conn betrays Darcy, she realizes that she can’t rely on anything—not
herself, not the laws of nature, and certainly not him. Darcy decides to
infiltrate the Shadow Society and uncover the Shades’ latest terrorist
plot. What she finds out will change her world forever . . .

In
this smart, compulsively readable novel, master storyteller Marie
Rutkoski has crafted an utterly original world, characters you won’t
soon forget, and a tale full of intrigue and suspense.
