This is a magnificently dark and brilliant work of speculative fiction with an absolutely stunning and original premise. The characters are rich, complex, flawed, and magnificent. I don't want to say too much and spoil the experience, but it's horrifying and gorgeous and absolutely not to be missed.

This novel is incredible!! Don't miss it!

McCloud's debut shows a mastery of craft rarely seen in a first novel. Her characters are engaging, complex, and quirky. Her story arc is perfectly proportioned, with edge-of-your-seat pacing that will make the pages fly by. Her elegant, crisp prose and distinctive POV voices sink you straight into the fascinating speculative world, and the unique blend of cyberpunk, noir, and speculative carries the best facets of all three genres.

My only complaint is that my time with these characters was over too soon. I will be waiting with bated breath to see what this talented author has for us next!!
