"Durst deftly layers in mythologies, drawing upon the vaunted status of the Ivy League schools, students' stories and superstitions, common tropes of fantasy literature and the propaganda of war. A refreshing entry in the urban-fantasy field and a solid adventure tale."
-- Kirkus (Read full review)

"Every page of ENCHANTED IVY weaves a delightful, seductive spell. Lily is a true heroine--smart, intrepid, and utterly human. I'd give anything to travel to the world of Sarah Beth Durst's imagination!"
-- Jeri Smith-Ready, award-winning author of Shade

"The SATs are nothing compared to cranky dragons, and this test's a killer. Durst's passion for her alma mater shines through with every whimsical, exciting page, as she weaves a captivating, magical tale that demands a sequel."
-- Michael Jones, Realms of Fantasy
