“Vampires, pirate and lusty French socialites: now that’s a recipe for a good time. Hinton has written an adult novel that can awaken the rough-and-tumble child in anyone. Hinton’s ability to engage hasn’t faded.” —The New York Times
“A dark, funny, scary, suspenseful tale that will entertain mainstream and adventure/horror readers alike…. The basic elements that made her book The Outsiders a long-time bestseller are present in this rousing read. This is a contemporary Treasure Island with a genre-bending twist.” —Publishers Weekly

“Set in Delaware and spanning the decades from the 1950s to the ’70s, Hawkes Harbor is an adventure tale with plenty of twists, turns and action.” —San Antonio Express-News
“Hinton offers a suspenseful, thought-provoking book, and the cross-genre plot makes for an entertaining read.” —The Oklahoman
