What people are saying about M.J. Scott


The Shattered Court - nominated for Best Paranormal Romance in the 2016 RITA® Awards.


“Scott (the Half-Light City series) opens her Four Arts fantasy series with the portrait of a young woman who’s thrust into the center of dangerous political machinations… Romance fans will enjoy the growing relationship between Cameron and Sophie, but the story’s real strength lies in the web of intrigue Scott creates around her characters.” 

—Publishers Weekly


“Fans of high fantasy and court politics will enjoy The Shattered Court. Sophie is such a great heroine...”

—RT Book Reviews


The Forbidden Heir


"This story was packed with action, political intrigue, scheming, and high stakes." Alyssa - Goodreads reviewer


"This is a marvellous book. The world building is unique and complex. The characters are well developed and likeable and there is intrigue for days. If you've read the first book in the series it only gets better in this one." Lissa - Goodreads reviewer


"'Forbidden Heir' is a great rarity: a sequel that I liked better than the original book." Margaret - Amazon reviewer


The Unbound Queen


This was an incredible 3rd and final book in The Four Arts Series which did a wonderful job of tying up the loose ends and seeing great characters finish a wonderful adventure. Amazon reviewer


Cameron is delectable, Sophie is the right mix of practical, insanely talented and wary of the power broking that is going on around her. It was brilliant to watch her come into her power. Amazon reviewer
