“Miller devises a fresh, physics- and chemistry-driven magical system and utilizes cerebral close-third-person storytelling and biting narration to confront the twisted politics of dark academia.” — Publishers Weekly

"A brutal and breathtaking dark academia novel that explores the price of education and the sacrifices that are made to attain it, That Devil, Ambition was a heart-pounding read from start to poignant finish. Linsey Miller never misses."  — Kamilah Cole, bestselling author of So Let Them Burn

"A richly imagined, wickedly sharp treatise on betrayal, love, and cunning—and more pointedly, who pays the price for all three." — Margaret Owen, author of the New York Times-bestselling Little Thieves series

"Brilliant, meticulous, and viciously surprising, this is dark academia at its most devilish (literally). Perfect for fans of VE Schwab, The Magicians, and The Atlas Six." — Jamie Pacton, bestselling author of The Absinthe Underground

"The claws are out in this compulsive read that's as wicked as it is smart." — Scott Reintgen, New York Times bestselling author of A Door in the Dark

"At turns nail-biting and thought-provoking, That Devil, Ambition is for those who don't flinch away from the nature of death and grieving. With intriguing characters and poetic prose, Miller's latest boasts a full curriculum of sordid, dreadful fun."  — Tara Sim, author of We Shall Be Monsters

"THAT DEVIL, AMBITION is razor-sharp, gut-wrenching, and out for blood, keeping the reader on edge while cutting deep with its masterfully clever plotting and beautifully flawed characters. I haven't been this obsessed with a book in a long time, even as it deftly put me in a chokehold and lovingly tore out my heart. It's a must-read, stand-out entry in the dark academia genre—not just good, but stunningly good.” — A.M. Strickland, author of In the Ravenous Dark

"That Devil, Ambition is required reading for all dark academia lovers. Every page is a twist of the knife, double edged with dark humor and searingly accurate critique of for-profit education. This is Linsey Miller at her best, brightest, and bloodiest." &
