Praise for Book One, SLEEP NO MORE:
“Sleep No More was both imaginative and exciting—a mixture of a classical fantasy and a contemporary thriller. I enjoyed it immensely.” (Brandon Sanderson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Steelheart)
“Sleep No More is a supernatural thriller with tight pacing, brilliant world-building, and a fascinating heroine with an all-too-human mix of frailty and power. Twisty and mystical and satisfying. I couldn’t put it down.” (Dan Wells, author of Partials)
“Full of gripping tension.” (Kirkus)
“There’s plenty of action, gore, and romance in this quick-paced read that will appeal to Pike’s many fans.” (ALA Booklist)
“Pike’s newest novel is a thrilling paranormal mystery with a hint of romance. Teen girls, fans of Pike’s previous novels and those who are just discovering her will enjoy this unique, quick read.” (School Library Journal)
More praise for Aprilynne Pike:
PRAISE FOR LIFE AFTER THEFT: “In a refreshing departure from her plant-based paranormal-romance series, Pike develops the pleasantly fractious relationship between Jeff and Kimberlee in Jeff’s earthy, humorous first-person. This brisk, down-to-earth thriller should appeal equally to male and female readers.” (Kirkus Reviews)
“A whirlwind adventure full of secrets, lies, unlikely friendships, and romance.” (School Library Journal)
“Jeff’s journey to real empathy takes on issues crucial and relevant to teens: the price of popularity, the importance of being true to one’s beliefs, and the need to stand up for others.” (ALA Booklist)
PRAISE FOR THE WINGS SERIES: “Wings is a remarkable debut; the ingenuity of the mythology is matched only by the startling loveliness with which the story unfolds.” (Stephenie Meyer, bestselling author of the Twilight Saga)
“Spells is brilliant and lovely. Aprilynne Pike’s talent just continues to bloom and I am almost afraid to see how awesome her next book will be.” (Carrie Jones, New York Times bestselling author of the Need series)
“Who knew faeries could be this cool? Illusions has it all. It’s fascinating, rich, and romantic, and weaves a great new tapestry of thrilling fantasy.” (Lisa McMann, New York Times bestselling author of the Wake series)
“The greatest part: the Wings series reaches the perfect ending. The worst part: it has to end!” (Claudia Gray, New York Times bestselling author of the Evernight series)
“Mixing a little bit of Harry Potter and a lot of Twilight, Pike has hit on a winning combination. Yet it is her own graceful take on life inside Avalon that adds a shimmering patina sure to enthrall readers” (Booklist (starred review))
“Silky narration, delicious escapism.” (Kirkus Reviews)
