Early praise for All the Best Liars:

“A searing and provocative exploration of friendship, desire, envy and obsession, of girls pushed to the very edge. Amelia Kahaney has written a beautifully twisted and unsparing thriller that will have readers holding their breath until its fiery conclusion.” ―Courtney Summers, author of The Project and Sadie

“Haunting, propulsive, and totally sinister. With stunning prose and gut-punch twists, All the Best Liars is a moving portrayal of the desperation that comes with being a girl trying to make a better life for herself.” ―Jessica Goodman, author of They'll Never Catch Us and They Wish They Were Us

“All the Best Liars opens with the slow burn of intense teen friendship and accelerates into a roaring blaze that will consume you in the best―and darkest―way. I’m still shaking!” ―Kit Frick, author of I Killed Zoe Spanos and Very Bad People

“Insanely addictive and gorgeously written. With vivid characters and a plot that keeps twisting, All the Best Liars took me right back to those early, intense female friendships and kept me reading through the night.” ―Laura Sims, author of Looker

“An atmospheric, richly drawn thriller about the complex nature of friendship. Amelia Kahaney unflinchingly captures the obsessive intensity of our earliest relationships, where trust is hard to come by, resentments simmer and burn, and whole friendships can go up in flames―literally.” ―Kass Morgan, author of The Ravens

“An urgent dare-ya through a darkly, wildly imagined future. Go ahead and try to predict the hairpin turns and steep reverses as you race through this sharply-conceived urban odyssey. You’ll need more than Vivarax to come down from this high.”
–Adele Griffin, National Book Award nominee and author of The Unfinished Life of Addison Stone

“Gorgeously written and richly imagined, this heart-pounding, high-octane novel of suspense, romance and revenge introduces a stunning new voice in YA fiction as well as a new kind of superhero. You won’t be able to put this one down.”
–New York Times bestselling author Aimee Friedman

“A clever, engaging read. Anthem Fleet is a special brand of superhero—fierce, fun, and female.”
–Anna Carey, Author of the Eve Trilogy
 
“Amelia Kahaney’s wonderfully inventive novel The Brokenhearted is part mystery, part love story, part coming-of-age story, and all page-turning, edge-of-your-seat thriller, set in Bedlam—a strange and broken city that combines the dangerous beauty of The Hunger Games with the dark characters of Batman’s Gotham. You will root for Anthem as she heals her broken heart, and cheer as she learns to fly.”
–Hannah Tinti, author of The Good Thief

"An atmospheric, adventure-laced debut.”
–Publisher's Weekly

"This second book offers a richer, closer-to-the-bone emotional depth than the series opener, along with an interwoven back story that will leave readers gobsmacked. Kahaney’s description is so detailed readers will easily slip into this futuristic world with its palpably sordid creepiness."
