The Darkness Dwellers / Kirsten Miller / 403 pages / 3 French Hens December Challenge

Kiki Strike #3
"According to the Paris police, the Darkness Dwellers are a mythical organization. There's no solid evidence that any group by that name has ever existed. However, many Parisians believe that the organization was formed to protect the catacombs - a network of bone-filled tunnels deep beneath the city. The Darkness Dwellers claim the group secretly repairs national treasures above ground as well." Kiki Strike meets two perspective Darkness Dwellers when she is entrapped in the tower of St. Maurice. She was on her way to claim the throne of Pokrovia, but got waylaid by her evil aunt. Her friends, the Irregulars, have been working on something she might be able to use as a bargaining chip with her enemies. This is a fast-paced tale filled with daring exploits and strong female characters.

"Manners aren't about impressing people. They're about being considerate. And a four letter word for considerate is kind."

"Luck is for the ill-prepared."

"Evil will triumph if good people do nothing."
