Raves and Reviews
"An engaging mystery with hints of supernatural and romance." --Kirkus Reviews
"The psychological elements and mystery bring...real tension. The book's final third barrels to a dramatic finale." --School Library Journal
"A complex paranormal young adult thriller. It mixes the paranormal, hypnosis, and romance. This is a great book for anyone looking for a YA book with a unique twist. This is a good fit for paranormal lovers. The element of hypnosis added a bit of nuance to the story. The author was not afraid to make the scenes gritting and scary. Finally, the cover is amazing. Retro and mysterious at the same time." --Young Adult Books Central
“Unlocked by Margo Kelly reminded me of why I love to read Young Adult novels that center on youths dealing with mental health. Unlocked by Margo Kelly is a novel that had me thinking about hypnotism in a new light and how to handle conflicts, especially when you feel as if you’re backed against a wall. If you’re into novels with dark or spooky themes then this book might just be your cup of tea.”
– The Young Folks
Steeped in supernatural horror and gothic suspense tropes … a dark, paranoid tale.
– International Thriller Writers
Margo Kelly is a bold, sensitive, writer whose inventive stories surprise and beguile teen readers. Look for more to come.
– Jacquelyn Mitchard, NYT Bestselling Author, The Deep End of the Ocean and Two if by Sea
Compelling, edge-of-your-seat thriller that grabbed me from the start. … The plot is filled with clever twists that build suspense and keep the pages turning as the characters hurtle towards an unexpected conclusion.
– Youth Services Book Reviews
Highly recommended for its taut storytelling, chilling horror elements, strong characters, and realistic representation of high school life.
– Joshua David Bellin, author of SCAVENGER OF SOULS
The use of an unreliable narrator really made this story pop … I also liked how realistic this book was in … the diverse characters … accurate portrayals of Native Americans and people of Latin American descent. It's also a helpful book for dealing with the stigma that often comes with mental illness … a complex story with an interesting twist at the end.
– Karen McCoy, librarian
