“Pain, passions, and violence are conveyed as agonizingly and earnestly here as they were in the Hunger Games and Handmaid’s Tale cycles. … Cautious brush strokes help sell this speculative story of art as the basis of a future police state.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“There’s no denying [Lavender Spike’s] originality. Replete with mind-bending thrills and chills, this proves hard to look away from.” ― Publishers Weekly
“An art-centric social justice dystopia for those who enjoy blurred-edge realities and driven characters intent on revolution of a corrupt society. Suggest to fans of Annalee Newitz and Pierce Brown.” ― Library Journal
“Lavender Spike is a speculative novel about the necessity of art and rebellion.” ― Foreword Reviews
“Lavender Spike is that rarest thing in fiction: a truly unique dystopia, one that shuns simple allegory and plays by its own strange and fascinating set of rules. In a just world, everyone would be obsessed with this book and fans would already be having bitter arguments about who should be cast in the film.” ― Jason Pargin, bestselling author of John Dies at the End and I’m Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom
“Lavender Spike crackles with the spirit of power and creation. Rachel Tremblay’s newest novel is a visceral and poignant examination of the purpose of art that poses the question, ‘Can art truly be a catalyst for change?’ Brimming with action, Lavender Spike will take readers on a journey that will inspire, enthrall, and excite the imagination.” ― Karen McBride, author of Crow Winter
“Lavender Spike is a luminous adventure, delicate and poignant to the very end. You won’t want to miss it!” ― Kayla Ancrum, award-winning author of The Wicker King and Icarus
“A wild acid-trip dive into alleyways where art is both drug and religion ― with all the vivid color and darkness that comes with both. A very I-need-a-cigarette-after-reading journey.” ― Nathan Makaryk, actor and author of Nottingham
