Durst delivers a fun adventure with a superpowered twist... Think
The Mummy (temples, tombs, and all) with Veronica Mars calling the
shots, and a dash of romance in the mix.
*Publishers Weekly*
Snappy dialogue, snarky teens and explosive exploits. A quick but
complex read—enjoyable on both counts.
*Kirkus Reviews*
Fans of Durst’s earlier works will find plenty to like about Kayla
and her paranormal adventure.
*Booklist*
Part Indiana Jones, part Jumper, the heroes travel faster than the
speed of light, but even that isn’t quick enough for them to escape
the treachery, mystery, and danger waiting around every corner.
*Colleen Houck, New York Times bestselling author of the
Tiger's Curse series, on Chasing Power*
Durst excels at describing grotesque violence and gorgeous magical
transformations alike, painting a touching portrait of first love
against a backdrop of Twilight Zone-type terrors.
*Kirkus Reviews on Conjured*
With strong folklore elements, a striking setting, and thoroughly
imagined characters, Durst has woven a story that does not shy from
the bawdy, violent, or pragmatic realities of life.
*Publishers Weekly on Vessel*
A fast-paced, thrilling adventure. . .the highly descriptive
writing forms intense visuals for the reader so that characters,
animals, and locations feel rich and realistic.
*VOYA on Vessel*
Combining a sense of humor with dark appeal of supernatural
romance, this book is funny, scary and thought provoking all at
once...Even jaded fans of the supernatural find fun in this
one.
*Kirkus Reviews on Drink, Slay, Love*
A fresh, modern, and humorous twist on the vampire novel... Durst's
snappy dialogue and vivid prose are entertaining and the
straightforward plot moves at a good clip, scattering enough clues
to heighten anticipation without spoiling the fun.
*Publishers Weekly on Drink, Slay, Love*
Twisty, absorbing and satisfying.
*Publishers Weekly on Ice*
A unique and cleverly spun romance...with a splendidly courageous
and smart heroine. Durst flawlessly weaves together romance,
adventure, and a modern sensibility to create a highly inventive
and suspenseful story of a girl on the cusp of adulthood. Readers
will take Cassie and Bear to their hearts.
