“This satisfying feminist tale is so fierce… An explosive thriller that is all too timely in the #MeToo era.” — Kirkus Reviews“There is fun to be had between the action-packed training sequences [and] dashes of romance, but Coates’ main message is about trauma, abuse, who deserves an opportunity for redemption, and who gets to decide… Enjoyably over the top, with some great ethical questions to explore.” — ALA Booklist“Mindy McGinnis’s The Female of the Species meets Ally Carter’s “Gallagher Girls” in this thriller with deeper themes about grief and justice. A perfectly paced thriller…this timely page-turner has a strong hook and will not sit on shelves for long.” — School Library Journal“The Black Coats provide[s] pure satisfaction with the idea of fighting back against misogyny and sexism… a relevant read in the #metoo era.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s BooksPraise for Queen of Hearts: “Oakes continues to weave literary magic as she pulls you down the rabbit hole into a Wonderland like you’ve never read before.” — NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Chanda HahnPraise for Queen of Hearts: “Fans of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland will enjoy the twists Oakes gives to familiar characters. Heart-stopping action makes the pages fly, and Dinah’s struggle to stay true to herself amid impossible expectations resonates.” — Publishers WeeklyPraise for Queen of Hearts: “This latest in fairy tales retold makes the classic villain less villainous by showing her tenderhearted backstory.” — BooklistPraise for Queen of Hearts: “Every good villain deserves an origin story, and Oakes offers a fascinating glimpse into the mad queen’s complex and heartbreaking past. The novel offers some wonderful reinventions of Carroll’s classic, and fans of Alice’s more sinister elements will appreciate Oakes’ macabre touches.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
