Praise for Harry Connolly's novels:
"Harry Connolly's vision is amazing." — Charlaine Harris
"[CHILD OF FIRE] is excellent reading and has a lot of things I love in a book: a truly dark and sinister world, delicious tension and suspense, violence so gritty you'll get something in your eye just reading it, and a gorgeously flawed protagonist. Take this one to the checkout counter. Seriously." — Jim Butcher
"An edge-of-the-seat read! Ray Lilly is the new high-water mark of paranormal noir." — Charles Stross, author of RULE 34
THE GREAT WAY: Complex world, tight action, awesome women as well as men; Connelly was good right out the gate, and just keeps getting better. — Sherwood Smith
"... one hard-hitting, take-no-prisoners, breathtaking holy moly of a
book." — C.E. Murphy
"One of the few urban magic books — for lack of a better term — novels I enjoyed last year was Harry Connolly's CHILD OF FIRE. And I loved it." — John Rogers, writer/producer LEVERAGE
