A riveting story for any reader capable of handling the violence, as Lyga juggles multiple points of view and elegant shocks and twists . . . The character arcs are as fascinating as the gruesome murders

Sharply authentic

Orchestrated so cunningly that rare indeed will be the reader who figures it out early . . . You can't deny Lyga's ambition to craft the most serious (and bloodiest) crime series yet for teen readers

Mesmerising and nerve-wrangling . . . a can't-put-it-down novel.

Creepy, compelling and all too plausible.

I read The House Swap in one breathless sitting. Dark, smart, sexy, gripping, totally brilliant.

So engrossing that I forgot to turn off the bath taps. Nearly caused a flood.

A clever premise for a thriller [...] you'll be whipping through the pages.

Sinister and compelling.

This is very much a heart-thumping, read-in-one-sitting story, and absolutely delivers on its smart and original hook.

Fleet shows skill in timing the gradual reveal of Caroline's past . . . her real talent is the ability to transmit the sheer exhilaration and naked danger of obsessive love.
