Thanks to NetGalley & Tor-Forge for the digital galley and Macmillan Audio for the ALC of this book.

Holy worldbuilding, Batgirl. The Helm of Midnight is a MASSIVE undertaking, and there will be two more books.

In a daring and deadly heist, thieves have made away with an artifact of terrible power—the death mask of Louis Charbon. Made by a master craftsman, it is imbued with the spirit of a monster from history, a serial murderer who terrorized the city.


Now Charbon is loose once more, killing from beyond the grave. But these murders are different from before, not simply random but the work of a deliberate mind probing for answers to a sinister question.
It is up to Krona Hirvath and her fellow Regulators to enter the mind of madness to stop this insatiable killer while facing the terrible truths left in his wake.

Serial killer’s essence trapped in am enchanted mask and unleashed on an unsuspecting world long after his death. The “Regulators” of this world must stop the murders before they wreak total havoc on the world.

I enjoyed this one enough but wasn’t prepared for the tome, haha! Its worldbuilding and characterization is impressive, but I am gonna need a minute for shorter, lighter things before diving back into the world for the next two.

By day, I lend books to people all over the world, by night, I roam the streets as a masked hero, saving kittens from drains and tree limbs. Nah, just kidding. It's dark outside. I watch a lot of movies, read a lot of books, and take graduate classes that I love but will never lead to a higher salary. Questions? Fantastic! Hit me up on the contact form.
