Praise for IN THE FOREST OF HARM

“BISSELL TIGHTENS THE SCREWS
SLOWLY AND EXPERTLY, providing some
spectacular, often threatening, mountain scenery along
the way…. A shrewdly judged female actioner.”

—Kirkus Reviews

“Sallie Bissell has written an EXTRAORDINARY
DEBUT NOVEL. Her characters are vividly alive,
as is the sense of foreboding that starts from the
first page and never lets go…. I strongly
recommend this book to suspense readers.
YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.”

—Rendezvous

“An incredibly powerful novel. Bissell creates
A SCENARIO OF DANGER AND SUSPENSE
THAT WILL LEAVE YOU BREATHLESS
as you race through your book to find out
what happens next.”

—Romantic Times

“A CARNIVAL RIDE OF PAIN AND TERROR
THAT YOU WILL FEEL IN YOUR GUT…
It is telling when a new author can make your heart
race as if you were climbing a cliff face and
your palms sweat as if you were gripping
the murder weapon yourself.”

—The Commercial Appeal, Memphis

“A NAIL-BITING DEBUT NOVEL OF
PSYCHOLOGICAL TERROR, SURVIVAL,
AND LOYALTY AND FRIENDSHIP.”

—The Purloined Letter

“THE TALE COMPELS with its depiction of
desperate camaraderie and descriptions
of gorgeous mountain scenery.”

—Publishers Weekly

“In a terrific debut, BISSELL GLUED ME
TO THE COUCH FOR HER ENTIRE
NOVEL.… If you buy one book this year,
make it In the Forest of Harm.”

—Snooper Reviews

“The charm of Bissell’s product is her integration
of Cherokee lore into what is otherwise
A GUT-WRENCHING SUSPENSE SET-UP. …
BISSELL MASTERFULLY DRIVES THE PLOT
with an arsenal of medium-length horror scenes,
ominous dead, interesting facts about culture
and geography, flashbacks, reflections and
conversational patter.”

—The Asheville Citizen-Times

“THE SUSPENSE IS EXCRUCIATING.”

—Spartanburg-Herald Journal
