Reviews

“Having a protagonist who is so impulsive and pushes right to the limits of what is generally socially acceptable certainly makes for unpredictable and exciting reading.” — Girl vs Bookshelf

“Unrelentingly dark … Cain ramps up the suspense to fever pitch and follows the exciting ending with an ambiguous dénouement that augurs another story.” — Publishers Weekly

“The conviction with which Cain writes and Nastos’s hard-nosed moral ambiguities makes for one-sitting reading — at least for those willing to risk an extended journey through some unsavoury places where being rich or poor doesn’t matter in the least.” — National Post
