Critics Review

Praise for Bobby Sky: Boy Band or Die“Bobby Sky is like the very best pop songs: catchy, thrilling, and over far too soon.”—Kevin Emerson, bestselling author of the Exile Trilogy“Snarky narrator Bobby is genuinely funny, offering the perfect balance of self-deprecating and cocky. With plenty of derring-do, complete with a surprise cameo appearance, this adventure will please fans of the first book and win plenty of new ones.”—Publishers Weekly“Fast-paced, fun, and all-around snarky … A great addition to any YA collection.” —School Library Journal“Action-packed and snarkily humorous.” —Kirkus Reviews “A fast-paced and amusing secret agent story … Featured tons of gadgets and high powered machinery, in addition to lots of slick battle scenes and narrow escapes.” —We Live and Breathe Books (blog) Praise for I Become Shadow A YALSA Teen’s Top Ten Pick of the Year A Lone Star Pick “A fast, funny, sharp debut.” —Kiersten White, New York Times bestselling author of Paranormalcy “The greatest strength is Ren’s jokey, snark-a-minute narration; that alone puts it in the same ballpark as Michelle Gagnon’s Persefone trilogy or Anthony Horowitz’s Alex Rider thrillers.” —VOYA “With a love triangle, vivid training sessions, and ample action, Shine’s debut introduces a new kick-butt, funny heroine who could hold her own in a ring full of tough, independent girls like Katniss Everdeen, Tris Prior, and Lela Santos.” —Booklist “Brimming with wisecracks and jokes, which turn an interesting concept into a very light read … plenty of excitement and humor.” —School Library Journal “In his debut, Shine delivers a thrilling plot and a headstrong heroine on par with Katniss Everdeen and Tris Prior.” —Kirkus Reviews
