"Intricately plotted and perfectly paced...visceral and unnerving...This is the perfect kind of horror."
- Lit Reactor
"Stage expertly melds her brand of dread with a
crime story lying just beneath the surface."
- Washington Post
"Ms. Stage's narration is a superbly navigated exercise in the lives of those we meet...her storytelling is powerful enough to force you to shift around in your seat because of how she is able to shed light on her characters' deepest horrors: the truth."
- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Terrifying and claustrophobic."
- Publishers Weekly
"Nightmare-inducing...Stage is a master at drafting suspenseful scenes."
- Pittsburgh Jewish Chronicle
"Stage expertly paces each little revelation that leads Grace into a nightmare world where nothing in her life will ever be the same again."
- Pittsburgh Magazine
"Stage thrusts dread upon readers from her book's first sentences and continues to escalate the tension with every page. A great choice for fans of intense psychological horror."
- Library Journal
"Each of Stage's books explore the dark side of family bonds, all in their own extraordinary way. This one lays bare the true horror inherent in fables and folklore, and what Pandora lets out of her box seems negligible compared to what Grace unleashes."
- Booklist (Starred Review)
"Compelling...This disturbing yet addictive read will keep you wondering what is real and what is madness."
- Kirkus
"An utterly harrowing novel of family secrets and betrayals...What could so easily have been a tale of redemption and reconciliation turns, in Stage's masterful hands, into a terrifying novel of suspense."
- Criminal Element
"A dark, dizzying domestic thriller steeped in menace and mistrust. Recommended for fans of Gillian Flynn, Ashley Audrain, and Riley Sager."
- Library Journal (Starred Review: audio edition)
