Creatures of Want and Ruin, Volume 2 by Molly Tanzer
5.0
Creatures of Want a Ruin was an enjoyable read that deals with some very ugly and very present time issues. It doesn't shy away from it's dark themes, though it does shroud them, somewhat, in a veil of supernatural horror. (Why else am I here, I ask?)
Ellie and Fin are worlds apart, but both become entangled in a sinister plot that threatens both of their homes. Ellie is a bootlegger who is working hard to send her brother to medical school. Fin is a rich socialite who misses her aggressive activist days.
Together they take on a dangerous group of diabolists who are eerily similar to the KKK. The diabolists have strange powers granted to them by their infernal lord, which, damn, I am super glad that real evil in this world doesn't have access to supernatural evil.
Ellie and Fin gain allies too, and it becomes a struggle to save the body and soul of the island they both love.
