Reviews
Shockingly real, twisty and dark. A fabulous read * Independent *
Tense, thrilling, and at times, darkly comedic. Ensnaring you from the very first page, it's a roller coaster of emotions * Heat *
An indictment of how women are treated during pregnancy, dismissed and ignored, their pain overlooked * Observer *
A really sinister, compelling read * Red *
Perfectly terrifying and terrifyingly perfect. I swear my fists are still clenched and I finished it two days ago. Expect stratospheric tension from page one, vivid imagery and language so evocative I shivered throughout. Seizes Rosemary's Baby by the throat and drags it into the 21st century -- Janice Hallett, author of THE APPEAL
A timely, terrifying, heartfelt thriller. I devoured it in one sitting -- Chris Whitaker, author of WE BEGIN AT THE END

Heartbreakingly visceral, eerie and intense, reading Delicate Condition is feeling, with every new turn of the page, what it's like for your body to no longer be your own. A spooky, devour-in-one-sitting story that's guaranteed to have everyone talking -- Leah Konen, author of ONE WHITE LIE
You may think you know where this is heading, but you'd be wrong. Whip smart and enjoyably gruesome -- Leonora Nattrass, author of BLUE WATER
Delicate Condition is the feminist update to Rosemary's Baby we all needed - a twisty page-turner with unsettling details and crackling writing that's also a timely critique of sexism in modern medicine -- Andrea Bartz, author of WE WERE NEVER HERE
Dark visceral horror. Loved it -- Tina Baker, author of CALL ME MUMMY
Pitch black horror meets smart psychological thriller in this fantastically moreish debut. I devoured it, feeling simultaneously sick and thrilled. And that ending... just perfect -- SJI Holliday, author of THE DEATHS OF DECEMBER
Pacy, visceral and very very dark. I didn't want to put this one down -- Rebecca Netley, author of THE WHISTLING
So many reader emotions, I didn't know who to trust; if anyone! Delicate Condition is a thriller, a horror, a mystery and it's lingering in my mind, an aftereffect of a chilling read! -- J.M. Hewitt, author of THE LIFE SHE WANTS
