edit data

Sarah McKnight is an award-winning multi-genre author with an interest in contemporary young adult, coming-of-age, and horror fiction. After spending two years teaching English to middle schoolers in Shimane Prefecture, Japan, she came back to the US to pursue her next dream – to finish writing all of the books taking up valuable space on her hard drive.

Her most popular book by far, The Reaper’s Quota, has placed in several awards, including the Next Generation Indie Book Awards and the Book Blogger’s Novel of the Year Award.

This was a prime example of false advertising. The gorgeous cover and blurb promised a dark, unsettling folk horror that I was super excited to read. What I got instead was an isekai romance with just a tiny, tiny, tiny bit of folklore sprinkled in. ...more
