Nevernight
by Jay Kristoff
Our rating
Spice: moderate. Darkness: extremely dark.
Mia watched her father hang, so she enrolls at the Red Church, a school for assassins where failing usually means dying. The narrator talks to you in snarky footnotes, which people either adore or hate. Bloody, horny and very sure of itself.
