Critics Review
A love letter to stories - and to everyone silenced or forgotten in their retelling. * Allison Saft *
A wonderfully written, tense and moving novel that offers its audience an endlessly readable mix of historical fiction, gothic mystery and fantasy romance that will draw you in again and again. * CultureFly *
As merciless as a rising tide and as beguiling as a fairy’s bargain. * Melissa Albert *
A Study in Drowning is a stunning book in every way. From one phenomenal book to another, Ava Reid is an author I am obsessed with … A masterclass in pacing, characterisation and tension, with a beautiful meditation on stories and who gets to have an authorial voice. * The Nerd Daily *
A spell-binding mix of magic, myth, and mystery. * Rory Power *
Reid wields lyricism, dark academia, and fairy-core elements to eloquently imbue the narrative with originality and depth that ferries themes surrounding grief, gender, and the value of folklore. * Publishers Weekly (starred review) *
A lyrical examination of stories told, cherished myths, and an unravelling of truths held dear. Darkly romantic and unsettlingly eerie. * Erin A. Craig *
A dark and gripping feminist tale. * Kirkus Reviews *
Lyrical, incisive, and tragically beautiful, this book will haunt your dreams. Reid delivers in every way - from the atmospheric house by the sea to the achingly hopeful romance to the examination of power, gender, and control, A Study in Drowning ruins and rebuilds you. * Vaishnavi Patel *
Full of myth and superstition, and heavy rains that fall upon crumbling old houses. A rewarding, romatic read, with much to chew on. * Kendare Blake *
