Reviews / Votes
A book about witches with no owls and not a pair of round spectacles in sight. The new Hunger Games, I suspect... Brilliant and utterly compelling - I loved it. * Kate Atkinson, author of Life after Life and Behind the Scenes of the Museum * Teens rejoice: the inheritor to Stephenie Meyer's crown has arrived. * Fiona Wilson, The Times * Edgy, arresting and brilliantly written, Half Bad grips you from the first page and doesn't let go. * Michael Grant, author of Gone * A brilliant debut that is both deeply unique and unsettling, one that chilled me to the bone and broke my heart even as I sped through its pages. This will haunt you. * Marie Lu, author of Legend * Take our word for it, this book is going to be huge. * Stylist * Brilliantly paced with more than a few nasty surprises, Half Bad is a wickedly addictive read that will capture the imagination of any fan of YA fiction. * Starburst * Not since the Harry Potter books - yes, I said it! - have I felt so fully immersed in an author's creation... I couldn't be more stoked over Half Bad, and this launch novel of a trilogy truly deserves all the hype surrounding it - and much more... * Amanda Hurley, Inkwood Books *More details
