"Ford's breakneck pace keeps the tension high, and the thrills
coming the whole way through."--BookPage
"Ford's debut holds nothing back, delivering a sense of absurd fun
and high-speed thrills that more than lives up to that amazing
title."--B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog
"Ford's strengths are evident in the taut acton sequences and
suspenseful pacing."--Publishers Weekly
"Furious, frenetic, fun, and "f**k you" All equally valid
descriptions of this book and its punk rock chef/psychic warrior
protagonist. It's like the X-Men, if everybody was sick of each
other's sh*t, they had to work manual labor to pay rent, and
Professor X was a sociopathic government stooge. A drunken
back-alley brawler of a book."--Robert Brockway, author of The
Unnoticeables
"Like Alias meets X-Men. I loved it."--Maria Lewis
"Teagan is a frank and funny narrator for this wild ride, which
starts off with our heroine falling from the 82nd floor of a
skyscraper and pretty much never slow down . . . . A fast-paced,
high-adrenaline tale that manages to get into some dark themes
without losing its sense of fun."--Kirkus
"The novel unfolds cinematically with loads of breathtaking action,
a perfect candidate for film or television adaptation . . .
[Readers will] want more."--Booklist
"The writing and storytelling is as clear and fun as the title
indicates."--Locus
