Critics Review
“Tattoo Atlas is an intelligent, creepy thriller with deeper meditations on the nature of evil, accountability, and the pervasive effects of our culture of violence.
“A smart, surprising sci-fi thriller that redefines the boundary between good and evil. A modern-day Jekyll and Hyde.” – Jay Kristoff, New York Times bestselling author of Illuminae and Nevernight
“Tattoo Atlas is an intelligent, creepy thriller with deeper meditations on the nature of evil, accountability, and the pervasive effects of our culture of violence. The murder and mystery make this the kind of book you’ll stay up all night reading, but the larger ideas will keep you thinking about the story for a long time after you’ve finished. Don’t read this one alone.” – Shaun David Hutchinson, author of We Are the Ants and The Five Stages of Andrew Brawley
“A visceral exploration of the nature of evil, and a terrifying look at the complexity of humanity and love.” – Suzanne Young, New York Times bestselling author of The Program series
“A heart-wrenching, soul-probing thriller that asks deep questions about love and psychology… while keeping you up at night, terrified of that creak in the hallway.” – Delilah S. Dawson, author of Hit, Strike, and Servants of the Storm
A troubled boy-boy romance (times two!), brewing tragedy, nods to Gothic greats (Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde), and pointed commentary are here, orchestrated deftly in a successful sophomore outing for Floreen. Chords of Frankenstein and Carrie harmonize in this emboldened critique of guns, bullying, and violence. – Kirkus Reviews
A sci-fi thriller that combines the best of Daniel Keyes’s Flowers for Algernon with Thomas Harris’s The Silence of the Lambs and will leave readers on the edge of their seats right up to the unexpected, touching conclusion. – School Library Journal
