"The Tricky Business of Faerie Bargains snatches you away into a world of enchanted contracts, faerie intrigue, and French toast that you'll never want to come back from." 

—Molly O'Neill, author of Greenteeth

"The Tricky Business of Faerie Bargains is a brilliant, tongue-in-cheek weaving of folklore and the hell of modern bureaucracy, combined with a twisty adventure and a dash of romance. An unflinching rendition of fae as they should be written—beautiful, bizarre, cruel, and always terrifying. McCarty is a talent!" —Brigitte Knightly, author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy

"With a clever, determined heroine and a cast of devious, uncanny fairies, The Tricky Business of Faerie Bargains is as irresistible as fae fruit—sharp, unforgettable, and utterly addictive."

"As irresistible as a fairy bargain, this book is riveting, magical, and wonderful! I absolutely loved it!" —Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times–bestselling author of The Spellshop

“A fresh, unexpected foray into the lands of Faerie, The Tricky Business of Faerie Bargains is as funny and witty as it is enchanting. Poppy Hill is a first-class heroine–full of sharp edges and quiet resolve–and her journeys through modern bureaucracy and fantastical fae courts alike are utterly enthralling.” 
—Julie Leong, author of The Teller of Small Fortunes

“Come for the fascinating world of corporate-brokered fairy bargains—stay for the adventure, intrigue, and betrayal! With a relatable mortal protagonist way over her head in a fairy realm as compelling as it is dangerous, this book casts an entrancing glamour!” 
—Melissa Caruso, author of The Last Hour Between Worlds

"Wistful and witty with exquisite worldbuilding, McCarty’s sprawling epic challenges notions of identity, loyalty, and the places one calls home. It’s a thrilling start." —Publisher's Weekly
