PositiveThe Minneapolis Star Tribune...a page-turner ... The three voices are distinct and compelling ... Mejia does a good job of showing us how human connections can spin out of control. She also manages to make Peter sympathetic and keep the reader in suspense about who killed Hattie. By skillfully spreading suspicion over a few different characters, Mejia has made this novel a page-turner.

PositiveThe Minneapolis Star TribuneLike the classic upon which it is based, Jane Steele is not a fast read. Many of the sentences are long, but the careful reader will be rewarded with Jane's wit and insight. Jane Steele is a fresh and imaginative takeoff on Jane Eyre, and will leave readers with plenty of fodder for discussion.
