“A fast-paced, stylish crime thriller stabbing into the heart of a vicious dark academia.”
– Cameron Johnston, author of First Mage On The Moon

“Atmospheric prose, seamless worldbuilding, and clever, buddy-cop hijinks make The Violently Departed a fast-paced fun and darkly delightful read.”

“Abandon ennui, all who enter here and descend into the hellish, lyrical delights of The Violently Departed – half literary epic, half thriller, entirely a masterpiece!”
– Patricia A. Jackson, author of Forging A Nightmare

“Clever, entertaining and imaginative, this was a wholly enjoyable read.”
– Gabriela Houston, author of Binding the Cuckoo, The Second Bell and The Bone Roots

“In The Violently Departed, Sarah J Daley has constructed yet another world I want to visit populated by characters I’m not sure I should hug, shake, chat up, or flee. It’s wonderfully confusing!”
– R.W.W. Greene, author of Mercury Retrograde

“The reader is swept along by Daley’s silky-smooth prose, and by the time I got to the breathless conclusion, I realized I’d been up all night.”
– Khan Wong, author of Circus Infinite and Down in the Sea of Angels

“A barnstorming pandemonium of devils, bar-fights, and battle-nuns, but above all, a hell of a good time.”

“With humour, pathos, and not a little arson, The Violently Departed is a spellbinding whodunnit filled with twists, turns, and infernal machinations.”
– MK Hardy, author of The Needfire

“equal parts Sherlock Holmes and Constantine”
– Dan Hanks, author of Swashbucklers and The Way Up Is Death
