Praise for Baku

"Baku is best described as 'fantasy punk'... Imagine the hidden magical societies of The Dresden Files mixed with the corporate intrigue of Cyberpunk or Shadowrun, and you're close. ... Based on this preview, Baku feels refreshingly different within urban fantasy. ... More importantly, these opening chapters achieved exactly what a preview should - they left me wanting the rest of the novel." - Emma Sinclair, The Second Draft, @emmaseconddraftbooks
