Circle of Shadows

I loved Marisa Linton’s Circle of Shadows, the first adventure of Evie Winstanley, Occult Consulting Detective. I hope there are lots more to come * Greg Mosse, author of The Coming Darkness trilogy and The Maisie Cooper Mysteries *A dark and twisty tale full of corrupt magic and even corrupter hearts, but also a stirring story about standing up to evil. A must-read for anyone who likes their academia dark! – Julia Golding, author of The Wordsworth KeyCircle of Shadows is a terrifically engaging tale of supernatural goings-on in Edwardian England, complete with séances, spell books and sinister academic cults. I can’t wait to read more adventures featuring resourceful investigator Evie Winstanley, who understands that men are capable of greater monstrosities than any demon * Tim Major, author of the Sherlock Holmes novel The Back to Front Murder *
