The Fox Hunt feels like running full-tilt through a nighttime forest. It winningly combines the darkness of old fairy tales with the glittering pleasures of secret societies, and is full of delights both anticipated and subversive. I thoroughly enjoyed it.”—Emma Törzs, author of Ink Blood Sister Scribe

"Bury me with this book. Caitlin Breeze's The Fox Hunt is a stunning debut that left me enthralled and reeling. Breeze's grasp of prose and atmosphere is unparalleled."—Victoria Lee, author of A Lesson in Vengeance

"Unsettling and lovely, fierce and strange, The Fox Hunt is a tale of transformation, power, and the secret worlds that lurk just out of sight of our own. A magical debut."—H.G. Parry, author of The Magician’s Daughter

"Smart, propulsive, and multi-layered, this deftly crafted fantasy thriller immerses readers in a narrative that recalls the wonder—and horror—of Grimms' fairy tales in a darkly elegant academic setting. . . An absorbing novel that weaves an unforgettable tale of magic and subversion."—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

"A propulsive, dark academia, coming-of-age fantasy about privilege and male power, and a battle cry to young women everywhere."—The Bookseller

"Emma’s coming-of-age journey through the corridors of human power and into the underlying mysteries is intense and ultimately satisfying."—Booklist

"Breeze's narrative voice is thick with dreamy imagery. The Night City is vibrantly imagined, with arcane eccentricities and fairy tale codes of order, at once perilous and alluring. The Fox Hunt thrums with undercurrents of female rage and anti-elitism, but its heart lies in the solace of community and the healing act of honoring one's true nature."—Shelf Awareness
