Review:
'a dark and gritty tale of love, revenge and deep personal anguish' We Love This Book. * We Love This Book * 'Savagely compelling ... It mimics the distancing stylistics of manga comics as well as suggesting the short-circuitry of the psychopath. It's rather brilliant' Guardian. * Guardian * 'Gregory Hughes, writer of the astoundingly good Unhooking The Moon, is back with a Kill Bill-esque tale full of darkness, revenge and love' Did You Ever Stop to Think. * Did You Ever Stop to Think * 'A raw and uncompromising story of obsession, full of action and adrenaline as well as tender relationships' Children's Books Ireland. * Children's Books Ireland * 'an author to look out for if you dislike predictable stories' Bookbag. * Bookbag * 'Fast, engaging and laced with an unexpected streak of darkness' My Favourite Books. * My Favourite Books *
