Praise for A Pinch of Peril:
"FROM THE RAINFOREST with its eccentric wildlife, to the history and political landscape, to the existence of pulvichemy and wards and magickal items and the people who populate [Torril], I could see it, feel it, and was thrilled to be a part of it." - Dale Stephens
"MCLEOD'S STYLE IS SMART AND VIVID. You'll fall into this beautifully crafted world and beg for more." - Jan Dubois
"I LOVE AKTERON AND PIRIA as characters and love their relationship dynamic. I could go on and on about this but it was easily one of my favourite parts of the whole thing!" - Luke Davidson
"THE MAGIC SYSTEM cleverly ties into these well-written interpersonal relationships: each person has a Sharak - a type of otherworldly, magical patron - who can be asked to fulfil a request. Since these Sharaks are beings themselves [this] creates an interesting dynamic!" - Emma, Goodreads Reviewer
