“An excellent writer.” —George R.R. Martin“One Word Kill is the kind of story that will stay with you for a lifetime.” —Robin Hobb, New York Times bestselling author“A completely absorbing tale that perfectly captures the fear, awkwardness, cynicism, and optimism of adolescence.” —Anthony Ryan, New York Times bestselling author of The Legion of Flame“One Word Kill grabs hold of you and won’t let you go until you’ve finished the last page. It’s everything that I look for in a book, and like the best of reads, one that stays with you long after you’ve finished reading it.” —John Gwynne, author of The Faithful and the Fallen series
