A love letter to stories - and to everyone silenced or forgotten in
their retelling.
*Allison Saft*
A wonderfully written, tense and moving novel that offers its
audience an endlessly readable mix of historical fiction, gothic
mystery and fantasy romance that will draw you in again and
again.
*CultureFly*
As merciless as a rising tide and as beguiling as a fairy's
bargain.
*Melissa Albert*
A Study in Drowning is a stunning book in every way. From one
phenomenal book to another, Ava Reid is an author I am obsessed
with . . . A masterclass in pacing, characterisation and tension,
with a beautiful meditation on stories and who gets to have an
authorial voice.
*The Nerd Daily*
A spell-binding mix of magic, myth, and mystery.
*Rory Power*
Reid wields lyricism, dark academia, and fairy-core elements to
eloquently imbue the narrative with originality and depth that
ferries themes surrounding grief, gender, and the value of
folklore.
*Publishers Weekly (starred review)*
A lyrical examination of stories told, cherished myths, and an
unravelling of truths held dear. Darkly romantic and unsettlingly
eerie.
*Erin A. Craig*
A dark and gripping feminist tale.
*Kirkus Reviews*
Lyrical, incisive, and tragically beautiful, this book will haunt
your dreams. Reid delivers in every way - from the atmospheric
house by the sea to the achingly hopeful romance to the examination
of power, gender, and control, A Study in Drowning ruins and
rebuilds you.
*Vaishnavi Patel*
Full of myth and superstition, and heavy rains that fall upon
crumbling old houses. A rewarding, romatic read, with much to chew
on.
*Kendare Blake*
