"Wow. You know that feeling, after you've finished one of the best books, that you enjoyed so much, your heart constricts and you can't speak? Then you close the book, press it tightly to your chest with both arms, and just sigh. Smelling the pages, staring off into nothing, and feeling like you're holding a treasure in your hands that's worth more than words can describe. Nothing, nothing in the world compares to that feeling. And this book gave me that. A rare thing these days."

~ Goodreads reviewer

"As the first book in an urban fantasy series that blends mystery, magic, and a strong heroine, Outcast is such a great intro to the world Vanessa Nelson has built."
