What They're Saying
Critics Review
Praise for Nightshade:
“Plenty of spycraft and nonstop action, with a shocking ending that points to future adventures.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Livy faces brutality, betrayal, double-crosses, and worse as she takes advantage of there being little honor among spies. Huie does a masterly job.”
—Publishers Weekly
“A first class and carefully penned suspense thriller of a novel.”
—Midwest Book Review

—Red Carpet Crash
Praise for Spitfire:
“An old-fashioned mystery shot through with tragedy; for aficionados of the glamour and romance of spycraft.”
—Kirkus Reviews
”[A] spirited debut and series launch…Vibrant characters, international intrigue, gritty action, and a wittily acerbic Ian Fleming, too—who could ask for more?”
—Publishers Weekly, starred review
