‘Thrilling and twisty – get ready to be paranoid’

J.P. Pomare, author of The Wrong Woman

​‘Wow. Page turning, chilling dread that kept me guessing until the end. Ashley Kalagian Blunt hits it out of the park, creating a dark world where your worst fears aren't the worst thing to fear – not even close.’

R.W.R McDonald, author of Nancy Business

‘With Dark Mode, Ashley Kalagian Blunt has turned her love of true crime and passion for suspense fiction into a fierce wake-up call of a thriller, one that looks unflinchingly at the horrors of the dark web and sheds light on the unimaginable. Riveting, tense and supremely chilling, this is an eye-opening must-read for crime fiction fans everywhere.’

Anna Downes, author of The Shadow House

‘Absolutely terrifying! I turned every page with my heart in my mouth, utterly hooked by this explosive thriller. Ashley Kalagian Blunt taps into the dangers we face online every day and the monsters in our midst. Dark Mode is a powerful and disturbing story which will keep you thinking long after you’ve finished reading.’

Petronella McGovern, author of The Liars

‘Dark Mode’s greatest achievement is that, as the pieces fall into place, it’s not just Reagan Carsen’s world that’s turned upside down – it’s ours. Its stunning payoff doesn’t just reverberate through the pages, but beyond the book and into the world at large … there are some realities most of us would sooner pretend are impossible than acknowledge are already here. Kalagian Blunt forces our gazes upon them in this compulsive and breathless thriller.’

James McKenzie Watson, author of Denizen

​‘Dark Mode's tension is visceral from the first page. The story is terrifying and timely. I found myself looking over my shoulder and thinking about Reagan for days after I finished reading. I'm excited to see what Ashley Kalagian Blunt writes next; she's a new crime writer to watch!’
