Today @KirkusReviews...
...I talk about the Strange Chemistry imprint in general and Julianna Scott's The Holders in specific:
Lately, I’m never more excited about reading a new book as I am when I’m about to read something from Strange Chemistry. Which is funny, as I’ve had extremely widely ranging reactions—from adoration to profound disappointment—to their books thus far: It’s been well over a month since I read and reviewed Laura Lam’s Pantomime, and I’m still head-over-heels in love with it; and I have similarly strong feelings towards Broken, by A.E. Rought, though they’re of a decidedly less-affectionate variety.
Which brings me to their most recent offering: The Holders, by Julianna Scott. Which, ultimately—and sadly!—falls into the same category as Broken.
