Praise
"Vibrant, full-of-life characters and a mystery full of dark surprises kept me invested until the very end. I want more! Kasey Lansdale has my attention."

Sadie Hartmann (a.k.a. Mother Horror), author of 101 Horror Books to Read Before You're Murdered & Feral & Hysterical
"Much will be made in the coming months and years of Kasey Lansdale's ability to channel the voice of her father, Champion Mojo Storyteller Joe R. Lansdale. What's much more important is all the ways that Kasey is her own writer, and that her creation, Chance Kirby, is her own woman. Chance delivers mojo without the macho, more Kinsey Millhone than Hap Collins. Her compassion and vulnerability keep the reader hooked as the twisty plot unfolds. A full cast of eccentrics makes Hopeful, Texas, a destination I can't wait to get back to."

Lewis Shiner, author of Glimpses and Black & White
"An absolute winner! It's rare that a thriller offers up a tale with such a page-turning, edge-of-the-seat plot that also grips your heart so tightly, but First Chance does just that, and then some! There're thrills, laughs, and even a few tears. (And who doesn't just love a German shepherd named Sissy?) Bravo!"
