Hugely imaginative * Independent on Sunday * A trailblazer for young talent … The way Shannon’s characters shift, backstab and fall are as fascinating as the twists and turns of the plot * Independent * Goes hell-for-leather, all poltergeists and grisly murders and pitched battles in the catacombs of Camden * Sunday Times * Imagine The Hunger Games written by London’s foremost psychogeographer, Iain Sinclair … Some of the best fight scenes I’ve read in donkey’s years … Wherever she goes I will follow * Scotland on Sunday * Shannon throws you into this rich, grimy near-future world * <b><i>The Times</i></b> * Language as rich as a figgy pudding, the best terminology in the genre and gripping, edge-of-the-seat plotting to boot … Penny dreadful stories clash with electronic tablets. Victorian-style street gangs use their fabulous supernatural powers to call on poltergeists for their skulduggery * Daily Mail * Paige escapes a brutal prison camp to face darkness and danger as the fate of the underworld unfolds * Stylist *
