Fantasy fans, this is a must read. – Elise Kova, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Arcana Academy
Buckle up, babes, we’re chasing the dawn! Defy the Dusk has all of my favorite things—found family, wickedly great worldbuilding, and a hero and heroine having a sexy good time (with some murder on the side!). You won’t want to miss it! – Katee Robert, New York Times bestselling author
In a stunning, fast-paced fantasy, Jensen delivers delicious yearning and characters readers will root for as they race to outrun tragedy and reclaim the night. – Laura R. Samotin, author of The Sins on Their Bones
A thrilling new post-apocalyptic fantasy set in an absolutely brutal world where monsters rule the night, and the only way to survive is to outrun them.

I will be counting down the days until I can read the sequel. – Demi Winters, New York Times bestselling author of The Ashen series
