Critical Reception

"A dark, twisting faerie adventure in modern-day New Jersey, featuring a dysfunctional teen living an illusion, Tithe is filled with haunting characters, from a beautiful man she can't seem to get rid of (and isn't sure she wants to) to her childhood "imaginary" friends. Danger is imminent, ready to rain blood and chaos down on the American countryside with unknown forces. This is sure to be a mystic tale you just can't put down.
