Viv Abbot appears to be an ordinary twenty-one-year-old woman trying to make her way through an expensive city. She works long hours at an unfulfilling job, struggles with her difficult relationship with her mother, and is dating a man she doesn't even particularly like because she hopes the relationship will finally earn her mother's approval.

But Viv has a secret life.

She's a demon hunter.

Since the murder of her father, Viv has been forced to hunt supernatural beings known as deviants on her own. Without a community of people who understand what she does, she has become an outsider, even within her own family. Hunting is dangerous enough, but carrying the weight of her father's death makes every encounter with the supernatural even more personal.

Everything changes when Viv encounters Reid Graveheart, a dangerously alluring demon and reformed deviant. Instead of attacking her, Reid tells Viv about a place where people like her can finally belong: Harker Academy for Deviant Defense.

At Harker, Viv could learn to improve her abilities, train alongside other demon hunters, and finally discover what it feels like to be part of a community that understands her life.

But the academy may offer more than friendship and training.

It may also hold the answers to the mystery surrounding her father's murder.

Viv enrolls at Harker, hoping to become a better hunter and uncover the truth about what happened to her father. Yet she quickly discovers that the academy is not as safe or straightforward as it first appears. Strange occurrences begin affecting the students, and Viv realizes that someone, or something, may be targeting the school.

To make matters worse, Viv is carrying a secret of her own.

It is a secret so dangerous that she cannot reveal it to her new friends. If the wrong person discovers the truth, the life she has begun building at Harker could disappear before it even has a chance to begin.

As Viv tries to balance demanding classes, dangerous supernatural encounters, new friendships, and the mystery surrounding her father's death, she also finds herself increasingly drawn toward Reid.

Falling for a demon is obviously a terrible idea.

Especially when that demon has claws, secrets, and his own complicated history.

Their relationship develops slowly, creating a dangerous tension between attraction and distrust. Viv knows she should be careful around Reid, but the more she learns about him, the harder it becomes to see him as simply the monster she was trained to hunt.

Meanwhile, the mystery at Harker continues to grow. As strange events threaten the students, Viv and her new friends must figure out who they can trust before someone gets hurt. Her investigation also brings her closer to the answers she has been searching for since her father's death.

Half City blends urban fantasy, dark academia, paranormal romance, mystery, and action into a story centered around a demon-hunting academy and a heroine trying to discover where she truly belongs. The book has been described as featuring a slow-burn romance, enemies-to-lovers tension, found family, high-stakes action, and a twisty mystery.

As the first installment of the Harker Academy trilogy, the story establishes a larger supernatural world while leaving plenty of questions about Viv's abilities, her father's death, Reid's past, and the strange forces surrounding the academy.

For readers who love supernatural academies, demon hunters, morally complicated love interests, dark academia settings, and romances filled with tension and secrets, Half City offers an addictive combination of action, mystery, magic, and romance.
