Reviews

"Marr offers readers a fully imagined faery world that runs alongside an everyday world, which even non-fantasy (or faerie) lovers will want to delve into" Publisher's Weekly "Marr's world-building is complex and masterful, and through skilful plotting, she builds intrigue and suspense, with plenty of romance as well." School Library Journal "The City is so well described that it almost takes on a life of its own ... I really felt as though I was there and could hear the noise and smell the smells of the "Carnival of Souls. I can't wiat for more!" bigbooklittlebook.com "Melissa Marr has created another amazing world that pulls you in from the first page. The magic and mystery that is created between the covers of this book leave you wanting more, and with each turn of the page getting exactly what is needed." bookalicious.org
