Reviews for SISTERS OF MISERY and THE LOST SISTER

"Hall maintains suspense until the very end. This story's dark, sinister edge, coupled with the clever use of runes to frame each chapter, will satisfy those fascinated by witchcraft and premonitions. Setting up a sequel, Hall will leave readers eager to know what happens next in her standout addition to a popular YA genre." --Publishers Weekly Review

"Sisters of Misery is a story that grabs you and won't let go."
--Midwest Book Review

“There’s no doubt Hall knows how to write one heck of a creepy gothic novel. She pushes the limits with disturbing plot points in this scary, fast-paced story.”
--Romantic Times Book Reviews

"This young adult fantasy will appeal to older readers as well. The character driven tale contains a gothic tone and atmosphere as the main characters are interesting people who have kept secrets for decades." -- Harriet Klausner

“The story is good, the plot intriguing, and the suspense nail-biting.”--Armchair Interviews

"Megan Kelley Hall hits one over the fence with her debut novel -- a true Gothic that skillfully combines the dangerous mischief of a modern clique with the bad girls whose prank-gone-mad ignited the Salem witch trials. The shivery story of Maddie and her mysterious, doomed cousin, Cordelia -- both prey to the angel-faced vixens who party on the aptly named Misery Island -- shows boldly that ancient and modern peer pressure are the same demon in new clothes. That demon wants Cordelia, and only Maddie can save her.. unless evil catches her first."
--Jacquelyn Mitchard, Oprah Book Club and New York Times bestselling author of The Deep End of the Ocean and The Midnight Twins

"Original, insightful, and scary. Megan Kelley Hall writes with an intense, frightening grace that will have you turning pages long into the night. She has immediately established herself as a first novelist to be reckoned with in the future."
--Michael Palmer, New York Times bestselling author of The First Patient and Extreme Measures

"An exciting, dangerous, and mysterious world! Megan Kelley Hall has crafted a story that'll keep you guessing until the last page."
--Richelle Mead, author, Vampire Academy series

"A dazzling and dishy portrait of magic, mystery, and coming of age. Readers will eat this up and come begging for more."
--Laurie Faria Stolarz, author of the bestselling Blue is for Nightmares series, Bleed, and Project 17

“One of the very best things in life is discovering an author you want to read more of. Sisters of Misery makes me want to read a whole lot more of Megan Kelley Hall.”
-Ellen Hopkins, author of Crank and Impulse

THE LOST SISTER

"This suspenseful saga sits between fairy tale and thriller, though readers need not be a diehard fan of either genre in order to appreciate Hall's intricate story of family history, witchcraft, teenage romance and sisterhood."

--Publisher's Weekly

"Character driven tale...deep Gothic feel and haunting foreboding atmosphere that hooks fan of all ages...THE LOST SISTER is a super thriller."

--Harriet Klausner
