PRAISE FOR WATCH THE GIRLS

“A devastating novel that evokes Ingmar Bergman and David Lynch... this disturbing, surrealistic thriller will keep readers spellbound.”

–Publisher’s Weekly, STARRED REVIEW

“[Wolfe] takes readers on a psychologically dark ride through a twisted underworld of fame and desperation, a journey that will keep readers guessing until the shocking ending.”

–Booklist

“Make no mistake: Wolfe’s got the goods. Timely, harrowing, and vividly imagined, WATCH THE GIRLS is a wild ride with style to burn.”

–Chris Holm, Anthony Award winning author of
The Killing Kind

“Sibling rivalry and Hollywood obsessions collide...Fast-paced and fraught with suspense, WATCH THE GIRLS unravels like a perfect summer-night movie.”

—BookPage

“WATCH THE GIRLS is everything you want in a thriller: suspenseful, spooky, and surprising right up to the final reveal. Jennifer Wolfe's outstanding novel is packed with enough vivid Hollywood dirt to bury a lot of bodies. A smart and razor-edged debut from a new star in the genre.”

––Glen Erik Hamilton, Anthony Award winning author of Past Crimes

“WATCH THE GIRLS is one of those books—it gets under your skin and stays with you long after you’ve devoured the last page. It’s the perfect dark, chilling thriller for the age of social media and ubiquitous reality TV that’s anything but real. Jennifer Wolfe’s damaged heroine toes the thin and ever-blurry line between truth and fake Hollywood glitz, right up until the devastating conclusion.”

–Nina Laurin, author of Girl Last Seen

“…dark and unexpected turns culminat[e] in an ending fit for its own horror movie. Liv is a compelling protagonist with a distinct voice—snarky and vulnerable, tough and persevering—and the book as a whole takes clever swipes at the Hollywood culture that has pervaded our lives.”

––CrimeSpree Magazine

“Twisty, tense, and addictive, WATCH THE GIRLS is like a great horror flick, a classic mystery, and an edgy piece of social commentary—all wrapped up into one dark, delicious package. Jennifer Wolfe is a huge new talent. Welcome to the book everyone will be reading this summer.”

– Brad Parks, author of Closer Than You Know

“[A] campy debut thriller...with [a] twisty and twisted ending.”

Mia Price is a lightning addict. She's survived countless strikes, but her craving to connect to the energy in storms endangers her life and the lives of those around her.

Los Angeles, where lightning rarely strikes, is one of the few places Mia feels safe from her addiction. But when an earthquake devastates the city, her haven is transformed into a minefield of chaos and danger. The beaches become massive tent cities. Downtown is a crumbling wasteland, where a traveling party moves to a different empty building each night, the revelers drawn to the destruction by a force they cannot deny. Two warring cults rise to power, and both see Mia as the key to their opposing doomsday prophecies. They believe she has a connection to the freak electrical storm that caused the quake, and to the far more devastating storm that is yet to come.

Mia wants to trust the enigmatic and alluring Jeremy when he promises to protect her, but she fears he isn't who he claims to be. In the end, the passion and power that brought them together could be their downfall. When the final disaster strikes, Mia must risk unleashing the full horror of her strength to save the people she loves, or lose everything.
