“Beautifuly written and extraordinarily imaginative.” - Kirkus
“A prank gone wrong drives this outstanding novel.... By alternating the present-day lives of Henry, Tess and Emma with the origins of the Dismantlers, McMahon allows the inexorable sense of dread to build incrementally. Perhaps most memorable are not the young artists but Emma, a child whose intense imagination only adds fuel to the slow-burning fire.” - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"One of the brightest new stars of literary suspense." - Los Angeles Times
"McMahon's gift is the deliciously twisty way she subverts all your expectations, keeping you guessing with wry wit and feverish chills." - People
