"Richly imagined...an auspicious debut."--Booklist

"A thoroughly enchanting debut novel"--Starburstmagazine.com

"As a result, Dreams and Shadows is a potent introduction to a world where the wondrous is rarely wonderful, the best intentions are guaranteed to roam farthest astray, and the reader is destined to keep turning the pages until the (somewhat) bitter end."--BookPage

"Dark, comedic, and unsettling, Dreams and Shadows is everything an urban fantasy sets out to be."--Tor.com

"The rich language, world building, and moral questions posed make for fascinating reading. Much of the novel is dark, but hope and redemption form the bedrock of the complex characters."--SFRevu

"Screenwriter and former film critic C. Robert Cargill's urban fantasy novel creates a rich universe full of dangerous and fascinating characters....the world that Cargill has created here is too rich to abandon."--MTV Geek
