Reviews
“Wide Open is a good read–full of sound and fury, ghosts and fire. A tough, tenacious heroine who relies on guts and brains rather than awesome cosmic superpowers. I loved it. Deborah Coates is a storyteller in the best sense of the word.” —Patricia Briggs, New York Times bestselling author of River Marked
“Twin Peaks meets Dean Koontz… Deborah Coates offers a pitch-perfect sense of place, an uncanny knack for dialogue, and a complex heroine who’s mad, sad, tenacious, and tough–exactly the person you’d pick to investigate your own murder.” —Sharon Shinn, author of Troubled Waters
“A great blast of fresh air. From the intimate story of a young woman haunted by forces both natural and supernatural, to the grand scope of godlike elementals, Deborah Coates demonstrates a sure storytelling hand…. Wide Open is the impressive debut of a distinct new voice in fantasy.” —Greg van Eekhout, author of Norse Code
“Wide Open lures us into the dangerous world of Sergeant Hallie Michaels and her alarmingly real ghosts…. Vivid, suspenseful, and filled with intensely convincing characters, this novel is an unforgettable homecoming.” —A. M. Dellamonica, award-winning author of Indigo Springs
