"Extravagant, sexy and compelling. I f****** loved it." — Lauren Beukes

"It's all Gran. And it's all brilliant." — Paul Tremblay

"Gran has…outdone herself. " — Publisher's Weekly, Starred Review

While Lily's hunt propels the story forward, it is Gran's frequently exquisite prose that demands investment from its audience." — Bookpage, Starred Review

"There's two types of magic at play, here. There's what these characters are trying to do, mixing books and sex and spells, and then there's the magic Sara Gran is doing to us, as we compulsively read this literary thriller. And there's a third magic we only wish we could do: pay in blood to go back, read this book again for the first time." — Stephen Graham Jones
