"All Kembral Thorne wants is a break. She’s a new mom, on leave from her day job rescuing people who slip between the layers of reality (no biggie), and she’s looking forward to a few hours at an office party/ball. But the universe has other ideas. Someone is killing the guests at the party in a sinister game for power. And it’s up to Kem to stop it. This book – the first in a series – is like if a game of Clue also took place in the multiverse. Kem’s world is surreal, brutal and deeply entertaining. Melissa Caruso keeps the wild premise in check with a smart writing style that delivers well-timed moments of levity. And if you like sapphic romance, you’ll appreciate the chemistry between Kem and her professional rival Rika, who is as prickly as she is mysterious!"
