ADVANCE REVIEWS: “Storykiller is a sweeping fantasy grounded by sarcastic wit and a modern twist on age-old characters that is great for any fan of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. No author has ever made me care so much for the villains, but Thompson does it again in Storykiller with Snow and Fenris." - ERIN JADE LANGE, author of BUTTER and DEAD ENDS
“Tessa Battle saves the world from Stories, wielding a double-bladed axe and rocking a red Mohawk. The Snow Queen, Bluebeard, Robin Hood, Romeo, Trolls…every classic Story you can possibly think of create the ultimate monster mash within the same pages, and it works. Tessa, Micah, and Brand give Buffy, Willow, and Xander a run for their money. Except this isn’t an undiscovered Whedon story, it’s Kelly Thompson’s second novel – and she kicks the idea of a ‘sophomore slump’ firmly in the balls. Tessa Battle-style.†-KAREN MAHONEY, author of THE IRON WITCH TRILOGY
SUMMARY:
The monster under the bed is real.
In fact, all the monsters are real, as well as the heroes and everything in between because all Fiction is real and exists in a dimension called Story. However, plenty of them hang out in the Mortal world, living both innocent and nefarious lives. This might not mean much to the average Mortal unaware of the Fictional characters living among them, but for The Last Scion--the only Mortal that can kill those Fictional characters--things are about to become very complicated.
Tessa Battle is that Mortal
Upon her return to Lore, Oregon after years bouncing around boarding schools in Europe, Tessa had her sights set on simple things like shoe shopping, finding a hot boyfriend, and eating as many pancakes as humanly possible. However, the Last Scion mantle Tessa just got saddled with is not making any of that easy, and as Tessa and her new friends are about to learn, Story is long from done with her, no matter how much she'd like to deny her destiny.
With more than one monster chasing her and questionable characters like The Snow Queen and Robin Hood as her allies, Tessa is going to need all the superpowers she inherited just to stay alive.
And maybe, just maybe, it's a GOOD thing that behind her back, Stories call her THE STORYKILLER.
