Review:

"There is so much to love about his book, the first in a series. The magic is deftly handled, the family stuff is bewildering and gripping, and the humour is as sharp as a dragon s tooth." --The Daily Mail

Fantasy buffs will find plenty of humor, thrills and original mythology to chew on, along with refreshingly three-dimensional women in an original, fully realized world. - Publishers Weekly

The Gales are an amazing family, the aunts will strike fear into your heart, and the characters Allie meets are both charming and terrifying. -Charlaine Harris

Excellent urban fantasy meets superior chick-lit with original ideas, fun, excitement and just the right amount of hunky luuurve. More Huff Emporium urb-chick-asy is coming soon and I can't wait! -The Book Bag

A delight from start to finish by turns humorous, romantic and dramatic. - Fantasy and Science Fiction

A compulsive and enjoyable read... This is urban fantasy at the top of its game with a strong central focus and engaging characters who really come to life. Once I had finished the book, all I wanted to know was what happens next! --Fantasy Book Review
