"I thoroughly enjoyed Emily Gee’s “The Laurentine Spy” which has emerged as one of my favorite books of the year so far. Highly, highly recommended..."

"Gee’s knack for creating suspense could rival Alfred Hitchcock’s."
"This is what good fantasy should be: edge of your seat, page-turning, late-night reading, heart-racing entertainment."
