Georgia Summers's magical bookshop is my new favorite place. It may be fraught and deadly, and even a little seedy - as flawed as Cassandra Fairfax, its hesitant new owner - but the mystery and danger are part of its charm. The Bookshop Below is a delicious read, I loved every second of it, but can it please be real? Laini Taylor, New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author of Daughter of Smoke and Bone
Steeped in bookish magic and infused with the comfort and terror of a favourite tragic fairytale, The Bookshop Below is darkly whimsical and utterly heartwrenching Tori Bovalino, author of My Throat an Open Grave
Rich, dark and romantic, The Bookshop Below is a must read for everyone who believes in the magic of books M. A. Kuzniar, bestselling author of Upon a Frosted Star and Midnight in Everwood
