  • "The story is really compelling to read and very refreshing. The characters are well written and it is dark, but there is some natural humour to lighten it, which I enjoy. I think it's really cool!"

  • "Great Aussie modern day fantasy with suspense and humour. What an interesting book The prologue had my heart racing. The more I read, the more I came to appreciate the author's way of writing. It's refreshing to have a fantasy book with magic and monsters, but relatable characters, a really beautiful representation of a handicapable main character and some fascinating lore sprinkled in. You can tell the author has done their research adn has given each character life and... roundness? Humanness? I dunno, I'm not an author, but they are 3 dimensional with quirks and flaws, strengths and mysteries. And it's so great to read Aussie books. Worth a read if you are sick of predictable books."

  • "'Blood in the Dust' is a great start to an adventure I hope to enjoy forever! Selena has a way of writing that gives you the pencil drawing of the characters and allows your imagination to provide the colours. This means that you have a full, quality movie playing in your head to the words you're reading. All the characters are real and interesting. None of them are perfect and that just makes this book so much... more! While the story of 'Blood in the Dust' was complete in itself, it just made me look forward to the next book in the series even more. All the characters felt like real people. My kind of people. Kind, sassy, thoughtful and individual. And that's just Yip! To read this book is to make some new friends. And these friends have some great adventures. I could keep raving, or you could just get a copy and learn for yourself what I mean."
