"Set against the rugged beauty and inherent darkness of natural gorges, this YA Australian gothic will captivate readers.”

"If you want a story that gets you into its clutches and won't let go till you've turned the last page, get your hands on a copy of Bad Country."

“I loved your book Kim! I started yesterday morning and couldn’t put it down!”

“A great read! Rich characters and the Australian bush come to life in this small town thriller. Where history and the present day connect through a dark lineage.”

“I spent yesterday reading Bad Country and was really engrossed in the story. Great characters and an enticing balance of the paranormal and the murder mystery.”

“OMG! I was sucked in totally! Couldn’t put it down. First book I’ve read in 29 years. Loved loved loved it!”

“Really enjoyed reading this book whilst I was on leave. The mix of Aussie country life, a reflection on some of our past as a country and the intertwining and legacy of community was engaging and provoking.”

“ Was such a great read, have read it twice in a week. Been awhile since I had a bookI couldn’t put it down.”

“I loved how the light balanced the dark in this story. Laura was a very relatable character, someone I felt for. The multiple points of view added depth the story, allowing us to see all angles of the events as they unfolded. By the end, I was flipping pages to discover the ending. I loved the Australian setting, the history weaved through the story, and seeing where the characters ended up. It was a great ending for a great book!”

“This book hooked me from the start - I couldn't put it down!”

"The setup is so Australian, and it is obvious from where she draws inspiration. It is intriguing, and I am convinced that young readers feel reflected in the principal characters. It has a strong appeal to the upper young adult segment, and I wouldn't be surprised if Laura, Sarah and Erica will turn up in another novel - maybe even a series."
