What could be more Canadian than a wendigo killer and an Indigenous hockey player hero? Wry, amusing, and so entertaining — this isn’t the usual description for a larger-than-life-horror-thriller but it fits Drew Hayden Taylor’s Cold perfectly. I loved the tight writing and the tension of this page-turning thriller. I also appreciated the homage to so many great Indigenous Canadian writers. This refreshing and entertaining novel will amuse every reader who is willing to suspend their disbelief for just a few hundred pages.

Strange Sally Diamond — review by Marsha S
What a story! Almost like The Maid meets Room. The layers peel back so breathlessly that I read this straight through. My heart went out to Sally, her mother and Lindy. Given all that she went through, Sally was the least strange character of all. Uplifting, brutal, humorous and sad.
