Praise for The Uninvited
“The story begins as a Parisian summer romp before shifting to become a creepy vampire horror story that creates a disturbingly apt parallel between vampirism and misogyny. Frightful, fun, and feminist.”
—Kirkus
“An insightful cautionary tale.”
“A tidy read for Francophiles who enjoy a paranormal bent to realistic contemporary tales.”
—Publishers Weekly
“A darkly emotional, feminist tale full of honesty in the face of a sharp-edged and untrustworthy world.”
—Booklist
“An exciting Paris adventure dripping with atmosphere, this story is a timely punch back at the cruelty of monsters and a love letter to the fierce, incomparable strength of teenage girls.”
—Sonia Hartl, author of The Lost Girls
“A visceral tour through the streets of Paris, with supernatural danger lurking around every corner and past traumas that cannot be suppressed. The Uninvited stands as a reminder; when the world tells us to shrink back and remain afraid, we don’t have to listen.”
—Angela Montoya, author of
