I picked up Into The Crooked Place because I was surprisingly thrilled with Alexandra Christo’s debut novel, To Kill A Kingdom, which could have easily been a wishy-washy The Little Mermaid retelling but morphed into a fantastic, original sea voyage with teeth. The four main characters and their allies will have to risk everything to take him down. But Ashwood has all the power and a strange magic of his own. Tavia, Wesley, Karam, and Saxony are turning Creije’s criminal underworld on its head to take down the gangster that shaped their wretched lives, Dante Ashwood. Her busker ex-girlfriend with a massive secret of her own. His vicious, kickass bodyguard from another land with a warrior heart and a dark past. Her former best friend and current underboss who is ready to expand his criminal enterprise at any cost. Meet the new faces of YA gangster fantasy in Alexandra Christo’s INTO THE CROOKED PLACE!Ī young busker responsible for selling the world’s most dangerous magic.
