Cassandra Khaw
"A delicious bowl of razor blades. With coiled prose and whetted instinct, Khaw's stories put a finger on the dark pulse of being human."

Innate Magic (2021)
(Marrowbone Spells, book 1)
Shannon Fay
"Shannon Fay’s debut is a delight…just like its quick-witted cast of characters, underneath all the glamour Innate Magic has a big beating heart and serious guts."
