Editorial Reviews

"...a worthwhile read. A sober, personable tale about the complexities of sexual abuse and its aftermath." - Kirkus Reviews

"These Violent Delights is smart, suspenseful, unsettling, and only too relevant. I promise you won't be able to put it down. Just don't forget to breathe." - Kim Askew, co-author of the Twisted Lit novels from Simon & Schuster

"As more women refuse to stay silent in the face of sexual assault each day, These Violent Delights could not be more timely." - Andrew Grant Jackson, author of 1965
