They will be joined by Asheville author and special guest Jaye Robin Brown, whose novel No Place to Fall came out in December. Of Invincible, Booklist says, “[Reed] builds a compelling first-person narrative and sensitively explores Evie’s efforts—and failures—to rebuild her life after a serious trauma.” Reed is also the author of Damaged, Over You, Crazy, Clean, and Beautiful. Constantine, who “has a knack for believable romantic scenes with enough heat to stay interesting” according to Kirkus Reviews, is also the author of The Promise of Amazing. Delilah Dawson is the author of several books in several genres, including the recent Servants of the Storm. Kirkus says Hit “will satisfy fans of thrillers and dystopias alike.”
