—Booklist (starred review)

Roseanne A. Brown (she/her) was born in Kumasi, Ghana, and immigrated to the wild jungles of central Maryland as a child. Writing was her first love, and she knew from a young age that she wanted to use the power of words to connect the different cultures she called home. She worked as an assistant teacher, journalist, and editorial intern before writing two young adult novels, a Black Panther graphic novel, and the prequel to this book, Serwa Boateng’s Guide to Vampire Hunting, a Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2022. Rosie currently lives outside Washington, D.C., where she can usually be found valiantly attempting new yoga positions or failing to protect her socks from her dog. She is only a little bit convinced that most actors are secretly vampires.
