About this ebook

With demons ravaging London and humanity in danger, it’s up to the sassy and reluctant heroine Scarlett Ravenwood to protect the world from falling into the clutches of evil.

When Scarlett Ravenwood witnesses a stabbing outside of the bar where she works, she doesn’t expect to see a demon escaping a possessed body. And she definitely doesn’t expect the attacker to be a hot, invisible, demon hunter who claims he just saved her life.

Unable to shake the image of the man who rescued her, Scarlett embarks on a journey for answers to questions that seem impossible. Demons, magic, and invisible worlds are the stuff fairy tales are made of. Aren’t they?

Thrust into a world on the brink of an apocalypse, Scarlett must leave behind everything she’s ever known to protect those she loves...or risk losing her soul forever.

Dark Descent is the first novel in The Arondight Codex, a new Urban Fantasy series full of action, adventure, and romance, woven with the threads of lost Arthurian legend. Oh, and demons. Lots of demons.

Ratings and reviews

Action from start to finish, plenty of paranormal, and a bit of romance. It was more than enough to make me want to read the sequel. There were a few blemishes, such as some of the side characters were one dimensional. Strong 8/10 stars.

It's great book. But it reminds me of The Mortal Instruments book series/ shadowhunters tv show. Just the way things go down. Still different in its own way.

Good plot, but the writing could have been better. Too much telling instead of showing
