GRAVENHUNGER
Lancashire Libraries (review)
GRAVENHUNGER is an extraordinary novel. It has an unrelenting fast pace that is maintained throughout, yet skilfully balances that alongside real insight into loss, bereavement and repressed feelings and emotions. Somewhere between M R James and Stephen King, the book bristles with chilling uncertainty and is sure to keep readers gripped and guessing until the very end. Gravenhunger Manor and its environs are a wonderfully brooding and malevolent setting that is hard to find parallel for in children's literature. A deliciously dark, yet thought-provoking read. - Jake Hope

THE SPACE BETWEEN
Booklist Review
"It takes moxie to set the first act of your novel in Hell, but Yovanoff does just that, and with a confidence that suggests she might have taken a vacation there at some point . . . this is a breath of fresh (or fetid?) air for the genre."
Starred Review in Publisher’s Weekly
"Yovanoff (THE REPLACEMENT) once again develops complex, believable characters as well as a supernatural milieu that feels both original and lived in. This confident tale contains moments of beauty, terror, and significant wisdom."
MO WREN LOST AND FOUND
Starred Review in Booklist
'As she did in the first book, Springstubb beautifully captures the emotions of loss that come with leaving all that's loved and familiar, as well as the first stirrings of hope when it seems as if things just might work out.'
