The Daily Mail joins the ranks of Kate le Vann fans!

'The issues of racism and peer pressure are cleverly handled in this well-paced and thoughtprovoking story about learning to be yourself. Le Vann improves with every book and she empathises with teenage relationships in a way that makes readers feel valued.'

Waterstones' booksellers and customers love her too:

'I love Kate Le Vann. In a world dominated by vampire fiction she is a fine example of a writer who doesn't need gimmicks (or fangs) to make her stories exciting.'

Desperate Measures!


'This is a fabulous book, with plenty of family drama unfolding throughout and serious issues addressed . . . incredibly poignant and explores many complex aspects of human nature and behaviour. It tackles prejudices against the mentally disabled, the challenges that are faced by families, the crushing loneliness felt when people disagree and the truth of friendship'.
