Utterly astonishing … Juniper & Thorn is the dark fairytale brought to perfection: terrible, and true, and full of teeth.

* Shelley Parker-Chan, Sunday Times bestselling author of She Who Became the Sun *A gothic masterpiece. Reid weaves threads of unsettling horror and abuse with astonishing empathy. * Kat Dunn, author of Dangerous Remedy *Reid expertly weaves a dark and delightful tale that packs a sting. Love, betrayal, and a heroine for our time. I absolutely loved this novel. * T. L. Huchu, author of The Library of the Dead *Thrumming with feminist power, and riveting in its worldbuilding, Juniper & Thorn is an unforgettable tale. * Ausma Zehanat Khan, author of The Bladebone *This is a dark and bloody tale, full of magic both otherworldly and familiar, and despite its monsters, it reads like comfort. After you read it, you’ll start saving space on your shelf for Ava Reid. * Kendare Blake, New York Times bestselling author of Three Dark Crowns *Juniper & Thorn is one of those books that buries itself beneath your skin and refuses to move. It has captured my mind entirely. * The Nerd Daily *Darkly enchanting … Reid fully embraces the darkness of the original tale while adding enough twists to make the story her own. Grimms’ fairy tale fans – and those who like their fairy tales grim – will be thrilled * Publishers Weekly (starred review) *An utterly compelling read * BookPage (starred review) *In many ways, [Reid’s] second novel manages to surpass her first. A fairytale that reads much more like a warning label than a Disney fantasy… It’s a nontraditional happy ending, but perhaps that’s what makes it feel so right. * Paste Magazine *
