Review Quotes

Praise for Olivie Blake
"Lethally smart. Filled with a cast of brilliantly realized characters, each entangled with one another in torturously delicious ways" CHLOE GONG

"As much a delicious contest of wit, will, and passion as it is of magic, this book is half mystery, half puzzle, and wholly a delight." HOLLY BLACK
