Reviews"Outrageously clever, with characters who are at times wantonly absurd, engaging, enraging, and intricate, this is a book for everyone who wants to escape reality - though beware, it gets weirder the deeper you go." -- Anna Stephens, author of Godblind, "This book is for those who dream of going to the ball inside the Goblin King's crystal bubble, but struggle with work-life balance and finding a good babysitter. A jewelled swirl of dangerous magic, fabulous outfits and reluctant heroism, Caruso's The Last Hour Between Worlds is fiendishly well-plotted, utterly enchanting and... surprisingly relatable."-- Leife Shallcross, author of The Beast's Heart, "To say The Last Hour Between Worlds hits the ground running would be an understatement: This book starts at a sprint and never slows down. It's funny, and scary, and weird in the very best way. Melissa Caruso's writing is razor-sharp and this book is one heck of a page-turner."-- Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld, " The Last Hour Between Worlds is a masterpiece--filled with excitement, romance, and characters you would protect with your life. The wobbly time effects in this book reach past its pages, making hours of reading blink by in a moment. Unmissable!"-- Andrea Stewart, author of The Bone Shard Daughter, "Like if a game of Clue also took place in the multiverse. Caruso keeps the wild premise in check with a smart writing style that delivers well-timed moments of levity." -- NPR, "I love The Last Hour Between Worlds to pieces... A time-bending triumph, a compelling adventure... A very entertaining story, with a strikingly satisfying climax."-- Locus, Praise for Rooks and Ruin: "Caruso walks a fine line between horror and humor and keeps the narrative from feeling too familiar with inventive demonic duels. Followers of the series will be rewarded with a tried-and-true but not at all trite triumph." -- Publishers Weekly on The Ivory Tomb "Caruso wraps up most of the loose ends in this trilogy nicely, leaving readers hoping for another series set in Eruvia." -- Booklist on The Ivory Tomb "Block out time to binge this can't-stop story filled with danger and unexpected disaster. From the fresh take on time-honored tropes to a crunchy, intrigue filled story, The Obsidian Tower is a must-read for lovers of high fantasy." -- C. L. Polk, author of The Midnight Bargain "A classic, breathtaking adventure brimful of dangerous magic and clever politics. This is a book that will thrill and delight any fantasy fan." -- Tasha Suri, author of The Jasmine Throne on The Obsidian Tower, "This book has everything you've been craving: sword fights, time loops, complicated feelings about parenthood, and banter with your sworn enemy. What an absolute delight!"-- Alix E. Harrow, New York Times bestselling author

SynopsisA whip-smart adventure fantasy packed with reality-bending magic, and sapphic romance, The Last Hour Between Worlds is the brilliant launch of a new series from David Gemmell Award-nominated author Melissa Caruso. In the Deep Echoes, no one can save you. Star investigator Kembral Thorne has a few hours away from her newborn, and she just wants to relax and enjoy the year-turning party. But when people start dropping dead, she's got to get to work. Especially when she finds that mysterious forces are plunging the whole party down through layers of reality and into nightmare. One layer down: It's no big deal. Stay alert, and you'll be fine. Two, three layers down: Natural laws are negotiable, and things get very strange. Four layers down: There are creatures with eyes in their teeth and walls that drip blood. Most people who fall this far never return. Luckily, Kem isn't most people. But as cosmic powers align and the hour grows late, she'll have to work with her awfully compelling nemesis, notorious cat burglar Rika Nonesuch, for a chance to save her city--though not her night off.
