Critics Review
Praise for House of Liars
“I devoured this novel–its exquisitely imperfect characters, its propulsive mystery, its urgent questions about human desire in the age of artificial everything. House of Liars captures both the perilous moment our world is facing with AI and the dark tensions of modern motherhood: the fantasies, the hunger, and the way women are torn between the lives we choose and the lives we crave. Riveting, tender, and terrifyingly real, this book will keep you up all night reading and then haunt you long after the last page.” –Mia Fontaine, New York Times bestselling author of Come Back
“This novel is a rare find-compulsively readable, gorgeously written, and completely original.” –Julie Christine Johnson, author of In Another Life and The Crows of Beara
Praise for The Atlas of Forgotten Places
“I was deeply impressed… It’s a book that will intrigue the reader and outrage the reader at the same time as it will sweep the reader into the fast moving current of its plot. I highly recommend it.” –Elizabeth George, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“A thriller that sweeps the reader into intrigue, adventure, and mystery.” –John Perkins, New York Times bestselling author
“Nothing short of astonishing.” –Kwei Quartey, author of Death by His Grace
“Gritty and intricately plotted.” –Publishers Weekly
“Riveting in plot and profound in portrait…an extraordinary debut.” –Washington Independent Review of Books
