Eating the Cheshire Cat

Ellis displays substantial insight into the nuances of Southern living . . . But it is her deliciously catty humor and breathless story-telling that turn the Alabama of this Southern gothic satire into a chillingly funny Wonderland complete with three desperate Alices. – Publishers Weekly

Helen Ellis’s murderously comic novel is bright as bubble gum even as it bats around issues of infidelity, betrayal, molestation, and self-mutilation. – Mark Rozzo, Los Angeles Times

If there is a prize awarded for Most Outrageous Opening Scene, surely Ellis is a prime contender. This is a first novel with all the polish and style of a much-published author; it is mean-spirited, glorifies revenge, and is chillingly, killingly funny. – Valerie Ryan, The Seattle Times

Ellis barbeques the odd habits of Crimson Tide Fans and Tuscaloosa society, serves it up with a hefty dollop of sex and cat fights, and finishes with just desserts. Tasty! – The Tampa Tribune

THE TURNING: What Curiosity Kills

There’s a new supernatural kid crowding in with the recent surge of teen vampires, fallen angels, and zombies, and this time, she is just as likely to crave milk as blood. – Booklist

The edgy patter turns hallucinogenic, erotic, and murderous. Imaginatively, it’s impressive: an urban fantasy with original and consistent world-building, which bodes well for later books in the Turning series. – Publishers Weekly

Are you a Twihard looking for a new dose of the paranormal? Look no further than Helen Ellis’s new series The Turning. – Girls’ Life
