"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." -
The Guardian, Best Thrillers of the Year"Hannah Deitch's
Killer Potential is an impressive debut that shows its author has exactly that." -
Gabino Iglesias, Crimereads"A Hitchcockian cocktail of romance, suspicion and suspense in which each woman may be a killer and liar and each may turn her lover in." -
The Times (UK), Best Thrillers of the Year "Razor-sharp writing, frenzied pace, twists and turns - prepare for impact!" -
Bonnie Garmus, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lessons in Chemistry"Fierce, fun, wild, and enraging.
Killer Potential is by turns moving, thrilling, raucous and funny. A deeply accomplished debut." -
Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of All the Colors of the Dark"Compelling and cool, Hannah Deitch has written a
Thelma & Louise for our times." -
Paula Hawkins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Slow Fire Burning and The Girl on the Train"Thrilling, audacious, and laden with more booby traps than a survivalist's lair,
Killer Potential heralds the arrival of a stunning new literary voice. A riotous, wholly singular debut." -
Kirstin Chen, New York Times bestselling author of Counterfeit"A hot, twisty fever dream you'll never want to wake up from . . .
Killer Potential throbs with deliciously cunning characters and a fierce intensity that will keep you turning every page quicker than the last." -
Zakiya Dalila Harris, New York Times bestselling author of The Other Black Girl "Like encountering a strong electrical current:
Killer Potential is bright, bracing, and surging with power. Deitch's writing style is fast-paced and undeniably bold. This is the kind of book that imprints itself on your brain; it's that wild of a ride.
Killer Potential is one hell of a page turner and an honest to goddamn ton of twisted fun." -
Kristen Arnett, New York Times bestselling author of Mostly Dead Things and With Teeth"Deliriously fun, provocative, and gripping, it's almost too easy to give
Killer Potential a perfect score. Hannah Deitch has a voice I would follow anywhere and this book has such a breathless, propulsive pace that I found myself turning to it whenever I had a spare moment. I kid you not, I propped my Kindle on top of the bathroom faucet so I could read it while I brushed my teeth. . . I know this word is overused when talking about books, but truly: unputdownable." -
Katy Hays, New York Times bestselling author of The Cloisters"Stylish . . . Deitch's twisty tale takes the form of an after-the-fact tell-all by Evie, and her wry narration adds texture and fizz to the action without skimping on character development. Neo-noir fans will get a kick out of this." -
Publishers Weekly"Entertaining . . . a steamy take on
Thelma and Louise." -
