Kirkus (starred review) on Feedback

"A U.S. presidential campaign set in a zombie-infested future bears an eerie resemblance to the way we live now. Simply jump in and enjoy ... a whip-smart thriller overflowing with sharp ideas and social commentary."

Publishers Weekly on Feedback

"The strength of this tale lies in the diverse cast, their deep ties to one another, and Grant's ability to surprise the reader with emotional gut punches."

Booklist on Feedback

"Grant excels at writing complicated personalities participating in complicated relationships, and this is no exception."

New York Times on Newsflesh series

"Astonishing ... a fascinating exploration of the future."

Locus on Feed

"While there's plenty of zombie mayhem, political snark, and pointedly funny observations here, the heart of this book is about human relationships, which are still the most important thing in the world...even in a world where you might have to shoot the person you love most in the head, just to stop them from biting off your face."

SFX on Feed

"Feed is a proper thriller with zombies. Grant doesn't get carried away with describing her world or the virus. She's clearly thought both out brilliantly, but she doesn't let it get in the way of a taut, well written story."

RT Book Reviews (4.5 stars) on Feed

"The story starts with a bang as corruption, mystery, danger and excitement abound."

Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) on Feed
