Critics Review
The Deathless Girls is exquisitely written, as we have come to expect from Millwood Hargrave, but it is also riveting, intoxicating, and utterly unputdownable.

I literally could not put it down; in fact, I resorted to stirring porridge with one hand while holding Kiran’s novel in the other. - Francesca SimonThe Deathless Girls is exquisitely written, as we have come to expect from Millwood Hargrave, but it is also riveting, intoxicating, and utterly unputdownable. - Louise O’NeillA wonderful idea, brilliantly told, about the girls who end up being Dracula’s brides.

It is a multi-layered book about age- long divisions, whether expressed through Travellers and Settlers, wolves and bears, colour of skin, trust between friends, and even sisters. It is a story about loss and survival: the survival of love, loyalty, sisterhood, and hope. Kiran holds up a mirror into the world of Dracula, but in which we see our own world reflected back. - Jamila GavinAbout The Author
