Kirkus weighs in on SCABLANDS!!!
​...Averett gets his mystery off to a running start, establishing the various character relationships early. Along the way, there are myriad plot turns, not just regarding the investigation, but Carmen’s personal life as well. Readers may find some of the material that Carmen digs into, such as pornography, to be relatively tame, but they give the protagonist opportunities to view the case from a more clinical perspective, which adds credibility to the story. Her narration is rife with questions, effectively indicating the amateur sleuth’s tendency to constantly examine what she’s learned. ...A zigzagging mystery with an intuitive competent protagonist. - Kirkus Reviews

"SCABLANDS is serious fun and EJ Averett is one of the best writers at work today. Do yourself a favor and pick up this book."
                                      -Terry Trueman, award-winning author of STUCK IN NEUTRAL 

"First page to last, a truly gripping read by a skilled author."
                                                                       -Elizabeth Smythe Brinton, author of MY AMERICAN EDEN
