“Smart and character-driven”

SFX Magazine

“If you’ve ever rooted for an unlikely couple – especially if one of them happens to be an immortal supernatural being – this book needs to be on your bedside table.”

Aurealis

“De Campi unashamedly uses a cast of sexual diverse characters, the supernatural and the longing to be more, to weave a story part-romance, part-witch-hunting in the modern world.”
