All will squirm uncomfortably and yet be unwilling to look away, furiously turning the pages until the final twist is revealed. A great choice for those who enjoy the work of Sarah Pinborough, Catriona Ward, and Katrina Monroe. Booklist
Zoje Stage takes us into the disordered mind of her conscience-free protagonist, and its not a pretty sightDear Hanna is a good read. New York Journal of Books
Original, memorable, deftly crafted, horrifically chilling, Dear Hanna is a simply riveting read from start to finishVery highly recommended Midwest Book Review
Once you get inside the head of this suburban whirlpool of psychological madness, there is no escape until the shocking final pages. Daniel Kraus, New York Times bestselling author of Whalefall
The most unsettling child youve ever read about is all grown up . . . Just like our dear Hanna does with her beloved charcoals, Zoje Stage masterfully draws you into a story made up entirely of shades of gray. You wont know what to believe, you wont know who to pull for, and you wont put it down until the last page is turned. Tony Wirt, bestselling author of Just Stay Away
Oh, but this is a deliciously nasty piece of work. Dear Hanna succeeds brilliantly on so many levels: as an ingenious follow-up to Baby Teeth, as a stand-alone thriller, and as one of the best, most squirm-inducing portraits of a deviant schemer this side of Gone Girl. However, Stage never skimps on the humanity of her characters; impossibly, youll feel for Hanna almost as much as youll dread whatever shes capable of doing next. Nat Cassidy, author of Mary and Nestlings
Hanna is back! Filled with churning suspense, visceral tension, and a touch of endearing hilarity (for Hanna really does try so hard to be good, in her own uniquely Hanna way), Dear Hanna is an utterly satisfying revisitation of an unforgettably chilling character. Zoje Stages storytelling is as sharp and unflinching as ever, and whether youre reuniting with Hanna or meeting her for the first time, shes sure to get under your skin and stay there. Kathleen Willett, author of Mother of All Secrets and Anything for a Friend
