Reviews
'A multilayered, metaphysical thriller ... dark, uneasy and extraordinary' Nicolette Jones, The Times 'Collins is a brave and ambitious writer ... She tests the lexicons of darkness and light to their limits and beyond. Reading 'A Trick of the Dark' is like watching a tightrope-walker feeling her way to the far stanchion. And she gets there' Guardian Praise for The Traitor Game: 'A wonderfully gripping book for teenagers ... Brain food that's well worth feeding to your teenage boys - and stealing from them afterwards' Big Issue 'A beautifully constructed debut novel with a twin narrative that cleverly plays with prejudices' Sunday Telegraph
