About the Author
Ali Luke loves writing (and reading!) fast-paced novels with a good dose of the supernatural. When she's writing, she likes to listen to Metallica and drink hot chocolate. When she's not writing, she reads pretty much anything she can get her hands on, eats too much chocolate, and plays board games / card games (Dominion and Eight-Minute Empire are current favourites) .Currently, she lives in Leeds in the UK with her husband and two young children. She was born in Cambridge and after a stint in Oxford aged 10 - 18, she returned there to university to study English Literature. After a few years in London, during which she gained an MA in Creative & Life Writing from Goldsmiths College, she married, spent some time living near family in Oxford, then headed north.
