"A bloody, class-conscious, suspenseful thriller starring two young women caught in a spiral of violence, blame, and bonding. This rocket-fueled debut is a deliciously dark, twisting, entertaining read, so beware the urge to stay up all night finishing it. A taut psychological drama as backbone to a propulsive thriller of gruesome crime, exhilaration, and deception. Killer Potential is disturbing, fun, and unforgettable." -- Shelf Awareness (starred review) "Paula Hawkins doesn't blurb your book unless there's a well-earned twist, and Killer Potential delivers on that front. The final third or so of the novel is a real joy to read as Deitch fills in all the blanks using different narrative techniques. Killer Potential earns Deitch a spot on the 'new novelists to watch' list." -- Associated Press "Part road movie, part psychodrama, this tense and pacy debut is a total page-turner.

I know this word is overused when talking about books, but truly: unputdownable." -- Katy Hays, New York Times bestselling author of The Cloisters "Stylish .
