Critics Review
“Gabriela Houston’s The Bone Roots is an exuberantly told story that weaves together the lives of two mothers and their daughters. This enthralling tale is filled with dark magic, intriguing monsters, and a tension that holds until the very end.”- Chris Panatier, author of The Phlebotomist”As twisted and intricate as the bone roots themselves, an intimate portrait of what it means to become a mother and the fight to protect - at any cost. Be prepared to be gripped, chilled, and lulled deep into this mythic world with Houston’s lyrical prose.“- Caroline Hardaker, author of Composite Creatures”Gabriela Houston’s writing is both economical and evocative - a rare skill.“- SFX Magazine”[Gabriela Houston] truly is a writer to look out for, and one that I think will go far.“- Libri Draconis
