Half City

This deluxe, first-edition trade paperback of Half City invites readers into Harker Academy for Deviant Defense. Viv Abbot is twenty-one, living in an expensive city, juggling a thankless job and a relationship she hopes will win her mother's approval - and a deadly secret: she hunts deviants. Since her father's murder, she's hunted alone, seen as an outsider - until a dangerously alluring demon, Reid Graveheart, reveals a school for people like her. Enrolling at Harker promises allies, sharpened skills, and answers about her father's death. As the first installment in the Harker Academy series, the book expands the world as strange occurrences plague the students, forcing Viv to decide who she can trust. She must ace her classes, resist falling for a demon, and survive her first year. How hard could that be? Kate Golden delivers a brisk, romantic, urban fantasy.
