PositiveBooklistFans of Glatt’s other work, as well as true crime fans who are new to him, will find this a compelling read.
Harold Schechter
PositiveBooklistIn his usual way, Schechter engrosses the reader without being sensationalist, and fans of his previous work would do well to pick this up.
Marina Lostetter
PositiveBooklistWeaving the tale through three separate stories—those of Krona, an apprentice healer named Melanie, and Charbon himself—Lostetter ties them all together masterfully in the end. While the story may lag a bit in some parts, it is well worth the effort to push through, and readers will be left wanting more after the novel’s cliffhanging conclusion.
Kali Wallace
PositiveBooklist... compelling ... Throughout the novel, bits and pieces of her previous life trickle through, and readers’ hearts will break as she struggles to come to terms with everything that’s happened to her. Part science fiction and part mystery, this novel will appeal to readers of both genres, as Wallace balances Hester’s unfolding investigation with an explanation of future technology.
Luke Arnold
PositiveBooklistFetch grows tremendously as a character; events don’t allow him to wallow in self pity for long. As in the book’s predecessor, the supporting cast provides much entertainment, and often their stories are as compelling as the main plot. Fans of Arnold’s first novel will want to pick this up to continue the story of Fetch—and of Sunder City as well.
Damien Angelica Walters
PositiveBooklistHeather’s eventual descent into madness is difficult to watch as she tries to make sense of what’s happening to her. Especially appealing to readers who grew up with R. L. Stine’s Fear Street series, Walters’ first novel will find fans among a wide range of horror readers.
