Slice of Cherry

“Whimsically dark and impossible to put down, SLICE OF CHERRY is a beautifully written and bloody coming-of-age tale starring two weird sisters on a murder spree out of love. Definitely a must-read.”–Jamison Shea, author of I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast is Me“Violently cathartic and narratively intimate, Slice of Cherry is unlike anything I’ve ever read. I found myself laughing one page and horrified the next–Kit and Fancy have slashed and slung their way into my mind and won’t be leaving anytime soon. A bloody spectacle!”–Courtney Gould, award-winning author of The Dead and the Dark“Brutally beautiful – not like anything else you’ll read this year, or any other.”–Cassandra Clare, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Mortal Instruments series“Wicked, violent and utterly enthralling, Slice of Cherry is a portrait of adolescence that turns the stomach and races the heart. A rerelease so fresh and delicious, everyone deserves another chance to take a bite.”–Kayla Ancrum, award-winning and critically acclaimed author of The Wicker King and Icarus“A memory and utterly twisted coming-of-age story…soaked in the paranormal–and blood.”

––Publishers Weekly

“Reeves returns to her fictional East Texas town of Portero for a tale more gruesome, disturbing and shamelessly enjoyable than Bleeding Violet…somehow, in this orgy of gore, a touching coming-of-age tale emerges, as the two emotionally stunted young women connect with community. The warm, fuzzy moral–that it’s fine to be a serial killer as long as you’re doing it to help others–will delight and entertain readers mature enough to appreciate that fictional morals needn’t always coincide with real-life didacticism. This gleeful page-turner is a winner.”—-Kirkus Reviews“Reeves, experimenting with a much darker side of magical realism, definitely has plenty of ideas. The vividly created fantasy world in which buried victims grow into beautiful trees is fully engaging…[f]ans of Showtime’s Dexter series will be thoroughly engrossed.”—-School Library Journal“Slice of Cherry is earnestly macabre, with razor-sharp characterizations in a sugar-sweet coat of moral ambiguity. [T]here is nothing mundane about this delectable novel…Reeves’ prose is dreamlike, strange, and bewitching as she effortlessly tells a story about some rather gory and unsavory subjects in a deceptively blasé manner. Be warned that Slice of Cherry is not for the faint of heart…if you, like me, delight in the absurd and the grotesque; if you’ve ever felt like you just don’t quite adhere to the tastes of the norm; if you like complicated and darkness…well, you might wanna cut yourself off a Slice of Cherry.”––The Book Smugglers“Twisted and creepy, this book is not for the faint of heart. Reeves sets no boundaries for herself, as readers witness the strange mind of a serial killer, possibly changing all perceptions of love and murder. Horrifyingly beautiful.” —-Romantic Times
