“Taut and fraught with surprise twists, Hillier’s thriller is addictive.”
“Hillier adopts the style of the great fifties noir authors . . . if your tastes run to Cornell Woolrich or Jim Thompson, Hillier is what you’ve been waiting for.”
“Freak is difficult to put down, and enjoyable on some primal level . . . “
~ National Post
“Readers beware: what flows through these pages is not always easy to stomach, but I dare you to take your eyes off the page. The chilling descriptions are a testament to Hillier’s talent as a thriller writer.”
~ Chapters Indigo Fiction Blog
“Freak is an exhilarating serial killer thriller . . . The storyline is fast-paced from the moment Jerry sees the message on the hooker’s torso and never slows down, with a shocking final twist . . . “
“[Hillier’s] experience, and dedication to the genre, is probably what makes her so good at hitting all the right suspense beats. But it’s more than just that. An innate writing talent also exists, doubling the page-turning pleasure.”

Just had the best visual of you doing the Kermit muppet flail – AWESOME! Thanks Sophia! 🙂
I snagged my copy and started reading it yesterday. *looks around nervously* I'm supposed to be reading someone else's book right now, but I keep skipping it. First, it was the latest Michael Slade that just came out on Kindle, now it's yours. 🙂
