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.

Reviews for Magic for Liars

Praise for Magic for Liars 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 Full of suspense and magic, with a protagonist as sharp and tart as a lemon, Sarah Gailey has written an unmissable debut. --Adrienne Celt, author of Invitation to a Bonfire I loved Sarah Gailey's Magic for Liars...it broke my heart, and I longed for the world of this story anyway. --Kat Howard, author of An Unkindness of Magicians Weird and wonderful...Sarah Gailey is a writer to watch. --Chuck Wendig, New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars: Aftermath
