In the thrilling follow-up to (Mostly) Human Resources, Alexys and Nic reunite to confront horrors both new and old—without becoming monsters themselves.
After facing down the most horrifying challenges of their careers (so far), former HR rep turned Warden Alexys and head researcher Nic find themselves struggling to adjust to their new normal. With Nic in London, following a lead on the mysterious Dreamweaver he captured in West Virginia, and Alexys preparing to go back to District 14 and adapting to her new role as a Warden, their burgeoning relationship is strained both by distance and the secrets they keep.
A black stain spreads slowly across Nic’s skin, a lingering effect of the events in Mercyhill, while Alexys struggles with Silas’s haunting presence and the debt she still owes him. When Nic’s condition becomes even more dire, and Silas prepares to collect his dues, Nic and Alexys must confront the secrets and sacrifices that have kept them apart and finally kill the Marrow Witch. But could it be that Alexys and Nic are the most dangerous monsters of all?
With the same big-hearted emotions and high paranormal stakes, (Hardly) Warden Material is another unputdownable adventure from Grace Viall—a perfect blend of the against-all-odds romance of Laura Piper Lee’s Doomsdate and the paranormal adventures of Bonnie Quinn’s “How to Survive Camping” series.
