"A refreshing, ingenious hardcover debut." --Kirkus

"Suspenseful and entrancing."--Library Journal

"Finder is a delightful bit of alchemistry that deftly blends the detective and fantasy genres. The characters get under your skin, and a world in which the young and disaffected are willing to risk death in a mad bid for redemption is oddly familiar. Bull's delicate touch allows her to exploit the crossover genre with particular success."--School Library Journal

"An effortless read.Everything, from scenes of suspense to scenes of high emotion, is deftly done."--The Washington Post

"[A] delightful fantasy." --Denver Post
