Review Quotes

"If you're looking for a fun, thrilling read, look no further. The Bang-Bang Sisters is a rip-roaring delight of a novel - pulpy, fast-paced, and absolutely unputdownable."
-- Roxane Gay, New York Times bestselling author

"This is the high-octane, rock band vigilante novel you never knew you wanted - but definitely need. The Bang-Bang Sisters reads like a lost Tarantino classic, with the verve and body count to prove it. A one-of-a-kind adventure that doesn't slow down." -- Alex Segura, bestselling author of Secret Identity

"Buckle up for The Bang-Bang Sisters. The story rocks, the characters pop, the writing sizzles. You won't forget Brea, Jessie, and Flo. This rock-band vigilante novel turns it up to eleven. Strap in and hold on." -- Meg Gardiner, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"A high-octane, action-packed read . . . . You should make this action thriller your next summer read. -- CrimeFictionLover.com

"A rip-roaring Hollywood noir that smashes the pedal to the metal and keeps it there. The best villain since Ian Fleming's James Bond novels . . . This one is hot." -- Stephen King on No Second Chances

"A high-octane good time. Readers seeking fast action and strong female characters should check it out." -- Publishers Weekly

"No Second Chances is a one-sitting read. Rio Youers writes with both muscle and heart, and his latest noir-meets-thriller is a literary sports car, loaded with style and speed. Jump in--and buckle up."
-- Michael Koryta, New York Times bestselling author

"[A] dizzyingly plotted thriller . . . the novel motors on at blinding speed, incorporating broken families, bottomless desire for revenge, and a denouement that makes the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre seems like mere trifle. What sticks with me, though, are the quiet moments, where the wounds of long-ago personal sacrifices have room to heal." -- New York Times Book Review on Lola on Fire

"Lola on Fire sizzles and scorches like fresh steak slapped on a red-hot grill. And while you might know Lola's cousins--that girl with the dragon tattoo, the twin nemeses of Killing Eve, master assassin John Wick, even Kill Bill's Beatrix Kiddo--none of them can rival her bruised soul and bulletproof heart. How often does a ferocious action thriller gather your emotions in a net and haul them to the surface writhing and shiny? What was the last novel to kick-start your brain and your pulse at the same time? Cross Elmore Leonard with Lisa Gardner and you get Rio Youers. More Lola, please, aflame or otherwise." -- A. J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window

"[A] rocket-fueled crime thriller . . . . Fans of full-throttled cinematic action-fests of the Long Kiss Goodnight variety are in for a treat." -- Publishers Weekly

"Lola on Fire serves up all the gonzo action, quotable lines, and unforgettable characters a reader could want, in a novel that rivals Killing Eve in intensity and atmosphere." -- #1 New York Times bestselling author Joe Hill

"Youers has spent years developing his style, perfecting his voice, and with No Second Chances he has produced a book that feels like something Elmore Leonard might have written: a dark and ballsy story that, once you've started it, you absolutely cannot stop reading." -- Booklist (starred review)

"John Wick meets Jane Hawk in Lola on Fire, a wild, relentless read. The action is terrific, the writing crisp, the characters unforgettable." -- New York Times bestselling author Michael Koryta

"What a ride! Lola on Fire is a witty, impeccably crafted, and deliriously fun thriller with a furiously beating heart. Rousing action and killer pacing, powered by characters you'll love who possess the ass-kicking skills of the John Wick universe yet are still grounded with real humanity. Don't miss it." -- Taylor Adams, author of No Exit
