Critics Review

As irresistible as a faerie bargain, this book is riveting, magical and wonderful! I absolutely adored it!
A fresh, unexpected foray into the lands of Faerie, The Tricky Business of Faerie Bargains is as funny and witty as it is enchanting. Poppy Hill is a first-class heroine - full of sharp edges and quiet resolve - and her journeys through modern bureaucracy and fantastical Fae courts alike are utterly enthralling – Julie Leong, SUNDAY TIMES bestselling author of THE TELLER OF SMALL FORTUNES
Full of that oh-so-human creativity, The Tricky Business of Faerie Bargains snatches you away into a world of enchanted contracts, faerie intrigue and French toast that you’ll never want to come back from – Molly O’Neill, author of GREENTEETH
The Tricky Business of Faerie Bargains is a brilliant, tongue-in-cheek weaving of folklore and the hell of modern bureaucracy, combined with a twisty adventure and a dash of romance. An unflinching rendition of fae as they should be written - beautiful, bizarre, cruel, and always terrifying. A book that I was reluctant to close at the end. McCarty is a talent! – Brigitte Knightly, author of THE IRRESISTIBLE URGE TO FALL FOR YOUR ENEMY
With a clever, determined heroine and a cast of devious, uncanny fairies, The Tricky Business of Fairy Bargains is as irresistible as fae fruit - sharp, unforgettable and utterly addictive – Lyra Selene, author of A FEATHER SO BLACK
A charming and warm-hearted tale of family and friendship with a plot as twisty as a fairy bargain. The pages brim with love for the Montana landscape, with descriptions that beckon the reader into their terrain - both in ‘reality’ and ‘Otherside’. I really enjoyed this adventurous fantasy quest! – M. Stevenson, author of BEHOOVED
Come for the fascinating world of corporate-brokered fairy bargains - stay for the adventure, intrigue, and betrayal! With a relatable mortal protagonist way over her head in a fairy realm as compelling as it is dangerous, this book casts an entrancing glamour! – Melissa Caruso, SUNDAY TIMES bestselling author of THE LAST HOUR BETWEEN WORLDS
Wistful and witty with exquisite worldbuilding, McCarty’s sprawling epic challenges notions of identity, loyalty and the places one calls home. It’s a thrilling start – PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
