Pamela, Hickelbees, San Jose, CAįront and center we have my current obsession, Ilsa Bick's Ashes, which is like Justin Cronin's The Passage for the YA set. I can't wait for the sequel! Hallie Wilkins, age 16, Anderson's Bookshopsĭystopia on steroids, exactly what it should be. (Five Stars) It's like the Walking Dead, but in a YA novel….
Donna at Bites, Ashes is disaster done right, it has to be one of the best disaster books I have read in a long while. You won't want to put it down and, quite frankly, it blows the rest of those dismal-future books clean out of the water. Splendidly paced apocalyptic zombie horror ends with a thrilling, terrifying cliffhanger and a number of unresolved mysteries. Pamela Thompson, El Paso Times Sunday Living Gritty, grim, grotesque, gruesome, gratifying and ultimately deeply satisfying, Ashes is this year's best ya dystopian novel.
The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s BooksĪn action-packed tale of an apocalypse unfolding, launching a trilogy with flair. The gorgeous (and disturbing cover) is sure to grab attention an impeccable sci-fi/horrorīalance, quick pace, and risky storytelling all live up to the jacket’s promise. Bick’s ability to convincingly render the mindset of people exposed to horrors and those still living with them makes not just Alex but all the characters around her feel real enough that we ache for them.” Locus Magazine
“…a harrowing apocalyptic survival tale that brims with true horror….Ashes inhabits the same dark country as The Stand (and is, in fact, delightfully King-esque at times) or Justin Cronin’s recent viral apocalypse The Passage …. Michael Grant, New York Times Best-Selling author of Gone New York Times Best-Selling author of The Maze Runner and The Scorch TrialsĪ haunting and epic story of survival in a shattered world, ASHES is a must read. Gripped me from beginning to end – dark, creepy and suspenseful.
