"A deliciously creepy paranormal thriller, Gideon sucks you in one step at a time until you are well and truly caught in the story. Highly recommended."
Anne Bishop, New York Times bestselling author of the Black Jewels trilogy "A seductive work of paranormal horror that will draw readers into its cold and gloomy world. ...This novel will thoroughly satisfy ... Read morereaders looking for suspense, horror and a grisly good time."
Kirkus Reviews "Crisp and shiveringly disturbing prose, a solid plot, and well-developed characters all make for a deeply satisfying read."
Publishers Weekly "...Gideon delivers a fast-paced plot that makes you want to finish it in a day, even if you don't have time. ...Gordon's descriptions of the petty jealousies and the insular nature of a small town make this paranormal novel feel scarily realistic."
Washington Post "Fast paced and filled with lively details, Gordon's prose propels readers into a fantastical world that is haunting to the very end."
Shelf Awareness "With a superbly drawn supporting cast...and a singularly fantastic location, Gordon has created a wonderful entry in the field of contemporary fantasy. She's sure to attract a legion of fans, eager for her next book. Highly recommended."

Library Journal (starred review) "...An engaging and suspenseful story."
Booklist "Anchored by well-crafted prose that features a creepy-as-hell villain, Gideon feels like Arthur Miller's "The Crucible" brilliantly reconceived in a Neil Gaiman-esque universe. Gordon hooks readers from page one ... making for a book that is impossible to put down."
