Reviews
“Huff delights in simultaneously bringing out the worst and best of her characters, and she’s really found her stride here. Underneath the supernatural trappings and the nonstop wisecracks is a whodunit full of devious plot twists and genuine character development, and the fune-tuned mockery of (and occassional indulgence in) horror novel/film cliches adds spice.”
“It’s a wild romp, full of dark humor, a delightfully twisted version of the usual haunted house story.”Locus
“The author of the Blood novels has once again proven herself a master of urban fantasy. A good selection for most fantasy collections.”Library Journal
“Enjoyable […] Huff is one of the best writers we have at contemporary fantasy, particularly with a supernatural twist, and her characters are almost always the kind we remember later, even when the plot details have faded away.”Science Fiction Chronicle
“There’s an excellent plot, innovative concepts, and a really twisted sense of humor running through the pages. I look forward to seeing if Tanya Huff can come up with a third.”SFRevu
“Smooth, assured writing and astute, wry asides about the world of TV make this locked house mystery an easy and enjoyable read.”Starburst (UK)
