What reviewers are saying:
[Satan's Garden] is a fine piece of engaging storytelling where the author has masterfully woven and tied in the stories of these sisters with great expertise. -- Readers' Favorite, Five-star Review |
This novel is chock full of suspense and interesting choices that will bring you in and latch you onto the characters. Whether you are a mystery reader or someone who is just dabbling in the genre, this book is going to have something for you. — Readers' Favorite, Five-star Review |
It took me on a roller-coaster ride of emotions, one of which was horror. It is a book that might get you rethinking your own life and be thankful that you are not Dani or Keely. |
Innocence meets evil in Kit Lyman's moving and powerful debut. Warm and humorous, yet chilling and dark, Satan's Garden is a gripping coming of age story. Close bonds are formed and tested as twin sisters are separated by a kidnapping. But soon, facing life apart is the least of their worries. — Crime Thriller Hound |
Imagine putting The Lovely Bones, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, and the Saw movie franchise into a blender, and you'd have the psychologically dense, historically aware, yet creepy texture of Satan's Garden. A successfully paced abduction thriller with unexpectedly deep emotional resonance, [this debut novel] dishes out equal parts surprise and sorrow. |
In spite of its chilling darkness and definite creepiness, this is a very uplifting and spiritually affirming novel. At its core is the concept of hope, which exists in spire of all the evils in the world. The fact that Lyman was able to bring that off without ever once seeming preachy or didactic is a testament to her skill as a storyteller. — Top 500 Amazon Reviewer, Five Stars |
This debut novel by author Kit Lyman is an excellent, emotional, [and] riveting psycho mystery/thriller. I was hanging on the edge of my seat until the very shocking end. |
Lyman is a wonderful writer and the story she tells in Satan's Garden quickly drew me in -- I read feverishly and on the edge of my seat. The story is told in alternating chapters by first one sister, then the other, in voices that are vivid and unique. I cared about each sister so much, and found myself willing them the strength to survive while hoping against hope that time would not run out. — Nina Sankovitch, Read All Day and The Huffington Post |
From a marketer and author standpoint, the level of attention Ms. Lyman has put into the book trailers and webpage show me this author is a force to be reckoned with. I strongly feel we will see this name on bestseller lists very soon. |
