This isn’t formatted well. Just, you know, a friendly heads-up. Trick is, whenever I stumble onto a list, a review, I stash it in a list on my phone. But, my publicity team is much better at this, and they sometimes send me nicely-done annotated lists. Which I’m including here, as, right now, I don’t have time to dig those links out. So, everything here should be clickable. But I can’t guarantee it being visually appealing. And, there may be some doubling-up, as well—apologies for that:

DEC 1, 2021 Boston Globe / Best of 2021 / Best Books of 2021 – “A beautiful and brutal love letter to slasher movies that deconstructs horror narratives while centering Native Americans. Horrific, yes, but also a soulful story about growing up in a toxic environment and being a perennial outsider.” / LINK
DEC 1, 2021 School Library Journal / Review / My Heart is a Chainsaw – “If Jade’s obsession with slasher movies is the center of this novel, issues of class, power, and addiction are the spokes that connect the wheel… Readers can’t help but root for her and implore other characters to heed her warnings.” / LINK
DEC 1, 2021 Audible Blog / Best of 2021 / Announcing the Best of the Year! – “Jones terrified us yet again with the bloody story of a misfit girl whose love of horror hits frighteningly close to home—with skin-crawlingly flawless narration by Ojibwe actor Gee.” / LINK
