PRAISE FOR MELISSA MARR:
"Marr serves up THE STRENGTH INSIDE, which poses the question, which is more evil, a family of monsters or a homeowners association?" --RT REVIEWS

"The juxtaposition of feral fae attempting to mainstream in the ‘burbs is both creepy and touching. Marr’s THE STRENGTH INSIDE had me rapt from beginning to end." --Vampire Book Club
