I’ve been writing the Merciless books for a long time, now, and I’m so lucky to have a truly brilliant team behind me making sure they end as strongly as they began. Thanks, again, to my wonderful Alloy family—specifically Hayley Wagreich, Josh Bank, and Sara Shandler. You are brilliant humans.
Thanks times about a million to my team at Razorbill. I couldn’t have written this book without Jessica Almon to help me get it started and Jessica Harriton to help me bring it home. As always, I owe Casey McIntyre for about a million tiny things, from making sure I have coffee at events, to endless hours booking travel, to pre-panel pep talks. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
And, of course, Ben Schrank, Elora Sullivan, Felicity Vallence, Maria Fazio, and the rest of Razorbill’s sales, marketing, and publicity team. I’m continually blown away by how hard you work to help people find my books.
In addition to the people named here, there are so many others working behind the scenes to make this book happen. I am grateful to all of you. I couldn’t have done it without your support.
And finally, thanks to my fabulous, supportive family and friends. I’m consistently blown away by all of you.
