Media Reviews

Praise for The Hallowed Ones

This is a book to make you fear the shadows--a horrifying and gruesome tale of faith, and things that blink red eyes in the night. I began reading in the daylight, and read on into the late hours, leaning close, biting my lip. I could not look away; I was obsessed. Katie is an unbreakable soul.
--Lauren DeStefano, New York Times Bestselling author of the Chemical Garden Trilogy

What an eerily believable, unique story! I can't stop thinking about it--or shivering.
--Melissa Marr, New York Times bestselling author of the Wicked Lovely Books

Tight pacing, suspenseful scenes, Wow! moments of tension, and exposure into a world I knew little about, The Hallowed Ones is an exciting, terse read. . . . Laura Bickle's debut novel for young adults has quickly become my favorite dystopian novel of 2012. . . . It left me wanting more, so much more.

Katie's an original character, and her thoughtful rebellion makes her an interesting addition to supernatural fictions's gallery of strong heroines.
