Book of Night by Holly Black

Charlie Hall has never found a lock she couldn’t pick, a book she couldn’t steal, or a bad decision she couldn’t make.

She’s spent half her life working for gloamings—magicians who manipulate shadows to peer into locked rooms, strangle people in their beds, or worse. Gloamings guard their secrets greedily, creating an underground market for grimoires and dark magic. And to get them, they need Charlie.

Now, Charlie is trying to distance herself from past mistakes, working a steady job as a bartender. But staying clean isn’t easy when her sister Posey is desperate for magic of her own, and her boyfriend Vince—a man with no shadow and a dark past—is hiding secrets. When a figure from Charlie’s past returns, she is dragged back into a dangerous world of shadowless doppelgängers, secret societies, and murder. To survive, she’ll have to take on corrupt billionaires, shadow thieves, and the darkest secrets of the shadow market.
