About the Book

Two Enigmatic Sisters A Brilliant, Terrifying Secret A Perfect Lie Ivy Gamble was born without magic and never wanted it. Ivy Gamble has an almost-sustainable career as a private investigator, and an empty apartment, and a slight drinking problem. She doesn't in any way wish she was like Tabitha, her estranged, magically gifted twin sister. Ivy Gamble is a liar. A darkly enchanting debut novel from the award-winning Sarah Gailey, perfect for fans of Charlie Jane Anders and Megan Abbott, following the harrowing search for a killer at a private academy for mages hidden in modern-day Northern California.

Gailey's nonfiction has appeared in Mashable and The Boston Globe, and writes short fiction for various popular outlets.

Review :
Praise for Magic for Liars "A queerer, older, quicker-paced Harry Potter, concerned with the childhood grudges that adults can't get over."--Refinery 29 "We can't wait to see what Sarah Gailey does next!"--Crimereads, the most anticipated crime books of summer "With winks to multiple genres, Sarah Gailey's Magic for Liars shows that their talent has no trouble extending to a full-length novel."--Culturess "In a very short time, Sarah Gailey has distinguished themself as one of science fiction's best new writers." --BoingBoing "The world has little mercy; but it does have heart, and like Ivy, it carries on despite its scars."--NPR "Magic for Liars is a perfect, spare, delectable novel that features a masterful narrative structure, terribly human characters occupying realistically magical settings, and more. The prose is spot-on and paints an intimate, flawed portrait of how a world like Gamble's would function, from the moment she tells the disbelieving bartender magic exists to the moment she walks out on her sister. I can't recommend it highly enough." --Tor.com "There's something for almost all readers here... Gailey shows us that humans are humans, even when they are magic, and they are still flawed, damaged, and oh-so-interesting" --Booklist (starred review) "Clever and fast-paced... a wonderfully quirky mystery filled with inviting characters and gripping surprise twists." --Publishers Weekly "A poignant and bittersweet family tragedy disguised as a mystery but with a magic all its own." --Kirkus "Veronica Mars with a bit of Harry Potter" --The Nerd Daily "Sarah Gailey mashes hard-bitten detective noir into the magical YA world of Harry Potter in Magic For Liars... a Syfy series waiting to happen." --AV Club "The sharpest female protagonist of the summer"--The Mary Sue "Ivy Gamble may not be magic herself, but she casts a spell all the same--and so does Gailey" --Barnes and Noble
