Praise for City of Halves

"Reading like a cross between Clare's City of Bones and Gaiman's Neverwhere . . . Fans of urban fantasy will delight in the imaginative use of the London setting and enjoy Inglis' smart, succinct writing. . . A story that will make them think as well as feel." --BCCB

"Slowly unraveling mystery, fast-paced action, and preternatural romance will leave readers eager for the clearly projected sequel." --Horn Book

"Sixteen-year-old Lily is Veronica Mars meets Shadowhunters' Clary Fray, a hacker dragged into the magical underworld. [A] refreshing interaction of programmer girl meets magical boy[.]" --Kirkus Reviews

"Lily and Regan are appealing protagonists, and British author Inglis creates some equally engaging secondary characters in her first book for teens. . . A tense and well-written supernatural adventure." --Publishers Weekly

"Lily and Regan are engaging characters, and their love story is sweet." --Booklist

London. Present day. Girls are disappearing. And strange things are roaming the streets.
When sixteen-year-old Lily is attacked by a two-headed dog, she's saved by hot, tattooed, and not-quite-human Regan. As Guardian of the Gates, it's his job to protect both halves of the City--new and old--from restless creatures that threaten its very existence. But an influx of these mythological beasts has Regan worried that something terrible--and immense--is about to happen.
The missing girls may have something to do with the monsters wandering around London, but what do they have in common? Can Lily and Regan find the girls and discover the truth in time to save London from being torn apart?
