Walking between the worlds has always been dangerous – but this time V’s facing the loss of all she holds dear.

Verity Fassbinder thought no boss could be worse than her perfectionist ex-boyfriend – until she grudgingly agreed to work for a psychotic fallen angel. And dealing with a career change not entirely of her own choosing is doing nothing to improve V’s already fractious temper. The angel is a jealous – and violent – employer, so she’s quit working for the Weyrd Council and sent her family away, for their own safety. Instead of indulging in domestic bliss, she’s got to play BFFs with the angel’s little spy, Joyce the kitsune assassin . . . and Joyce comes with her own murderous problems.

The angel has tasked V with finding two lost treasures, which would be hard enough even without a vengeful Dusana Nadasy on her heels. And Inspector McIntyre won’t stop calling: the bodies of Normal women who disappeared decades before are turning up, apparently subjected to Weyrd magics. Angelic demands or not, this isn’t something she can walk away from.

And the angel is getting impatient for results . . .

Reviews

Verity has touches of Katniss Everdeen but quickly establishes herself as a strong, likeable and positive female heroine in her own right
Lovereading
Rich and heady as honey mead, potent and earthy as great Scotch, the sublimely dark tales of Angela Slatter are an addictive delight
Neil Snowden, Waterstones
Edgy, hilarious and full of heart - Verity is back and as brilliant as ever!

Slatter [has] gone from strength to strength, armed with first-class imagination and first-class storytelling skills
Jeff Vandermeer, bestselling author of the Southern Reach trilogy
If you enjoyed American Gods, you'll love this. If you loved the Dresden Files but thought there were not nearly enough females taking charge, Verity is the answer to all your woes
Read at Midnight on Corpselight
Full of black humour and razor-sharp dialogue, it manages to be at once endearing and terrifying. This spellbinding second novel leaves little doubt as to Slatter's immense talent
Reader Dad on Corpselight
A fantastic read, with a heroine who captured my heart. Verity is a combination of tough as nails, with a huge heart, but vulnerable and also not indestructible . . . a cracking read
A Fantastical Librarian on Vigil
A brilliant conclusion to the trilogy, Restoration is Slatter at her finest hour
Thoughts by Tash
Beautiful, captivating and effortless writing . . . it's almost impossible for you to guess exactly what is likely to happen next
The Never Ending Bookshelf
Vivid, magical and with more mayhem than you can shake a stick at, Restoration is addictive, beautifully written and, as usual, darkly comic throughout. One of my favourite urban fantasy series. Read the entire trilogy and prepare to be entertained. You won't be disappointed. Highly recommended.
