Print reviews!

Guardian of the Dead has been getting some really nice print reviews forwarded to me by my editors. Since I believe it is Not Done to post them in full, especially before they are actually published, I am going to tease you with extracts.

Kirkus says: “Fast-paced adventure and an unfamiliar, frightening enemy set a new scene for teen urban fantasy.”

Booklist says: “Healey’s prose is a notch above others writing in this genre … a breath of fresh air after all the vampires, demons, and fairies out there*.”

Bookseller + Publisher says: “an exotic and engaging world… enthusiastically recommended.”

Romantic Times doesn’t have easily extractable quotes but it does award the book 4 1/2 stars!

So, as you can imagine, I have not really stopped levitating this week.

* Personally, I am still very keen on vampires, demons, and fairies.

  1. Karen,

    I have enjoyed reading the chronicles of your book’s journey. (First ran into your posts on Inside a Dog.) I have bestowed upon you the One Lovely Blog Award. All the best to you.
