A fierce, feminist anthem … Edge does not hold back. * School Library Journal *
Deeply readable, hilariously funny, and so eerily relevant to the world we live in. Edge has cemented herself as one of my favourite voices * Kirsten King, author of A Good Person *
As the bodies pile up, readers will be hunting for answers until the very last page * Megan Davidhizar, author of Silent Sister *
This is a story full of feminine rage and teeth and it will keep you glued to every page * C. G. Drews, New York Times bestselling author of Don’t let The Forest In *
This is glorious, and you absolutely need to read it * Adrienne Tooley, author of There Are Ghosts Here *
A love letter to furious girlhood, Natural Selection is a must-read for anyone who understands why we choose the bear * Mary Roach, author of Seven for a Secret *
A masterful debut and a skin-crawling, gory, vital punch of truly unique feminist horror * Logan-Ashley Kisner, author of Old Wounds and The Transition *
Once you dig in, it’s un-BEAR-able to put it down * Megan Lally, New York Times bestselling author of That’s Not My Name *
This clever, bloodthirsty, and furiously feminist thriller is absolutely perfect. Clare Edge is a literary phenomenon in the making * Kelsea Yu, Shirley Jackson Award nominee and author of It’s Only a Game *
This YA thriller for older teens is a timely tale told in urgent bursts of hurt and outrage * The Sydney Morning Herald *
