Reviews

"Bovalino doesn't shy away from the market's gory horrors but never lingers, successfully balancing grisly depictions of butchered bodies with Lou's poignant contemplation on her role in the world and her family in this swift-moving and enticing work of horror." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "A beautifully imagined examination of the bonds that tie sisters, friends, families, and lovers, [Not Good For Maidens] is bursting with empowered women [...] A violent and voluptuous adventure." --Kirkus Reviews "With equal measures of terror and tenderness, Tori Bovalino crafts a vivid story as alluring as the taste of goblin fruit." - Lyndall Clipstone, author of Lakesedge and Forestfall "A spellbinding dark fantasy of generational magic and mischief. With haunting prose, this riveting tale will hold you captive like the call of the Goblin Market itself." -Rosiee Thor, author of Fire Becomes Her and Tarnished are the Stars "A morbid, lyrical, blood-soaked folktale that draws readers in from the very beginning, much the way the market ensnares its victims but with far more pleasant results. Every time I set the book down I couldn't wait to pick it back up again; a must read for those sweltering, sinister summer nights!" - Alice Scott, Barnes & Noble senior bookseller
