Praise
"Jaye Wells has created a fresh, magical world full of potion junkies and alchemists that promises to break new ground in paranormal thrillers."
—Laurell K. Hamilton on Dirty Magic
"Kate Prospero is my new favorite heroine -- imperfect, haunted, driven, and dangerous."
—New York Times bestseller Kevin Hearne on Dirty Magic
"Dirty Magic is like nothing else currently happening in urban fantasy. Grim, gritty, and great."
—Seanan McGuire
"Jaye Wells raises the urban fantasy bar with Dirty Magic, a hard-boiled series debut as unique and surprising as the creatures and characters peopling it. Kate Prospero is charged with policing the Cauldron, a magical world so fully realized, and so gritty, it gets under your nails. Wells is known for deftly weaving non-stop action with no-holds barred humor, but the unique and deeply drawn relationships are the real alchemy here. Dirty Magic showcases seasoned pro, Wells, at the top of her game, and establishes newcomer Kate Prospero as the urban fantasy heroine to beat."
—New York Times Bestseller Vicki Pettersson
