Books I've Blurbed
A collection of books I’ve had the pleasure of reading early and providing thoughts on. If you would like to have your book blurbed by me, please contact my agents Claire Friedman and Jessica Mileo at InkWell Management or use the contact form on my website.
WAKE THE BONES
"Deliciously vile and viciously emotional, WAKE THE BONES is a debut you'll want to savor but will be forced to devour whole. Kilcoyne richly imagines a world where life and death are all tangled together, and love and loss are the true magic. I was held captive to the last haunting page and I hoped there was no release."
IT LOOKS LIKE US
"Ames has truly hit her stride in this bone-chilling story of isolation, resilience, and the monstrous nature of man. IT LOOKS LIKE US will have you wondering who you can trust and questioning every bump in the night. Be sure to lock your doors, because this book is as creeping and deadly as the Antarctic cold, and just as unforgiving."
THE DEPTHS
"THE DEPTHS is a horror gem that breathes new life into the gothic genre. With a resilient but shaken heroine, a vibrant setting that's both claustrophobic and expansive, and a plot with as many twists and turns as the tangled jungle around them, this enchanting novel holds your hand and guides you into its dark heart with ease. Lesperance's brilliant and terrifying novel is not one I'll soon forget."
DREAM TO ME
"DREAM TO ME is an enchanting and ensnaring gift from a fresh voice in YA. Equal parts grief and magic, Paasch's writing will cradle you close, leaving you both hurt and healed. I could not put this one down!"
WHAT WE HARVEST
"Eerie and beautiful, WHAT WE HARVEST is a novel that will sink into your roots before it devours you whole. Fraistat's prose is both lyrical and haunting, and she crafts a story that breaks your heart and heals it in equal turns. Horrifying, but ultimately hopeful, this novel will be horror-readers' next obsession."
PRIMAL ANIMALS
“PRIMAL ANIMALS is a relentless thrill ride, offering a summer camp with danger at every turn, staggering twists, and a deeply human heroine. Rubin has done it again, crafting a thriller that strikes at your greatest fears and leaves you gasping for air before you even realize it.”
DARKNESSES
"With a stunning blend of depth and humor, DARKNESSES is a retelling unlike anything I've read before. Seville presents a fresh take on vampires that breathes new life into Stoker's classic, weaving together elements of identity and interpersonal relationships that truly modernize the story on which it is built. In Laura, Seville presents a fun, nuanced take on Dracula that reminds me how enchanting and innovative the retelling genre can be, while in Oasis, Seville gives the audience a relatable, resilient, and infinitely readable hero. I found myself laughing one page and on the verge of tears the next. Complicated narratives and an inventive world create a rich tapestry that both pays homage to its source material while bringing it to entirely new heights, as well. Seville is a voice to watch and I cannot wait to see what they come up with next."
SHE IS A HAUNTING
"Electric and unsettling with a deliciously rich theme readers will sink their teeth into, SHE IS A HAUNTING is my absolute favorite new entry in the gothic genre. Layers of identity, fright, and heartfelt romance are tenderly laid one over the other, creating a richly complex story that questions the very nature of a haunting. Trang Thanh Tran is a force to be reckoned with."
RAVENSONG
"Heartfelt, thrilling, and refreshingly steeped in lore, RAVENSONG is a book I could read again and again. Neve is a magnetic heroine - determined, stubborn, and full of raw anger. The moment I flipped the last page, I was desperate for more."
