A remarkable debut by Lisa Brackman Seattle Times

Lisa Brackmans debut novel is as slick and smart as an alley cat The result is a wildly original read Even more remarkable is her enfant terrible protagonist: 26-year-old Ellie is tough, snarky and immensely likeable. Through her voice Brackman never falls into the trite and tired trap of so many foreigners who write about an exotic China. Beijing in Year of the Tiger is as it is in real life Time Out: Beijing

A gripping ex-pat nightmare that unfolds with superb pacing it makes you damned glad your life is boring Miami Herald

Brackman's experience in the motion picture industry is evident. A gritty and intriguing tale of terror that draws in the reader with each page; Brackman is a new writer to watch Library Journal
