“Eull’s Intercessions is both a Hitchcockian thriller and the deeply personal journey of a forgotten victim. Grief, trauma, disorientation, stalking are just the tip of the iceberg. A debut novel not to be missed.” — Reed Farrel Coleman, New York Times bestselling author of Sleepless City

“Intercessions is an impressive debut that reminds readers just how literary in nature crime fiction can be when it is in the right hands. Eull has created memorable characters here that become more and more realistic as their flaws are exposed over time. All of them are dealing with struggles of their own, and their actions directly reflect those internal struggles. As Eull, reminds us, crime victims are not limited to the obvious ones. The ultimate impact of the crime recounted in Intercessions is staggering.” — Book Chase

“Kathleen Eull’s debut novel had me staying up way past my bedtime! It is definitely a page turner. Her depth of characters and the lingering pain from childhood trauma permeates the entire book. I am hoping that she writes another book again soon!”

Five Stars
American Gothic At Its Finest

“A bold, suspenseful thriller written in the atmospheric style of a poet longing for home. An edgy tale that connects the dots of past, present and future; home, escape, and homecoming. Unflinching, brave and empowering. It is the story of a young woman whose idyllic life of rural explorations is interrupted by a problem too big for her years. Her foe seeems undefeatable until she is able to harness the forces of nature which have lied dormant within her for years, and face the memories which kept her in stasis. Highly recommend for readers of thrillers, Southern gothic (in this case Midwestern gothic), or female led stories.” - Reader review

“Kathleen Eull distinguishes herself as an emerging talent in her debut novel Intercessions. Eull’s evocative writing captures the deeper aspects of trauma, memory, and psychological distress in this nuanced portrayal of Corianne, a young woman who struggles to regain her memories and come to terms with the secrets of her past. This gripping psychological thriller explores Cori’s complex relationships and her own unconscious. Secrets are revealed, memories resurface, and things will never be the same.” — Dr. Carmen Kuhling, Psychotherapist and Senior Lecturer of Sociology, University of Limerick, author of The New Age Ethic and the Spirit of Postmodernity

“No doubt this will speak not only to feminists but to all who are aggrieved and horrified as to what those with power do to us.” — Darko Suvin, Emeritus Professor at McGill University and author Disputing the Deluge: 21st Century Writings on Utopia, Narration, Horizons of Survival

“Intercessions is a gripping psychological thriller. Though it is a tale with a serious topic, it is a page turner. And it is beautifully written, so much so that it is hard to believe it is Kathleen’s first book.”
—The Psychologist
