Critics Review
“Fans of Jonathan Stroud’s The Screaming Staircase will appreciate Ritter’s initial foray into the realm of supernatural…avid lovers of fantasy will enjoy this quick read.”–School Library Journal“Holmes crossed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”–Chicago Tribune“Ritter’s debut skillfully blends science with the supernatural and balances whimsy with violence. The smartly paced plot wraps up neatly, but the rich world of this debut demands sequels.”–Kirkus Reviews, starred review“Toss together an alternate 19th-century New England city, a strong tradition of Sherlockian pastiche, and one seriously ugly hat, and this lighthearted and assured debut emerges, all action and quirk.”–Publishers Weekly“We honestly couldn’t put it down.”–Nerdist.com
