Gr 9 Up–This YA romantasy sequel to The Dark Fable finds Evie Wilder, her siblings Ezra and Juliet, and her found-family of thieves, Dev, Queenie, and Mad, recovering from the devastating losses they took during their last heist. Now the leader of La Fable Sombre, Evie must juggle repairing the prestigious magical crew’s reputation, planning their latest heist, and keeping them alive as they each recover their strength and learn to fully harness their unique demon’s magic. However, when a new, dangerous criminal named the Basilisk appears with plans to destroy La Fable Sombre, their best chance at survival is to align with Ciaran Argent, a nemesis, and Jason Ra, a friend feared lost to the wasteland of the Wild Dark. Together, they travel the globe searching for a way to defeat their enemies and discover the vault key that will unlock all La Fable Sombre’s secrets. Harbour’s novel is overflowing with lush description, suspense, and romantic tensions.
VERDICT  Recommended for readers who enjoy the romantasy genre, a good heist, and similar titles by Leigh Bardugo, Libba Bray, or Stephanie Garber.
