Raves and Reviews
"Gemma Amor is one mean mixologist, blending equal parts unhinged vengeance and emotional gut punch with a splash of bloodshed. From the very first sip, I was intoxicated by Happy Hour and couldn't put it down until I'd drained every last drop."
– Brian McAuley, USA Today Bestselling Author of Breathe In, Bleed Out
"We talk a lot about read-in-one-sitting stories (and mostly it’s lies) but I genuinely gulped down Happy Hour in one uninterrupted binge. It’s a poisoned tribute to the mess and mania of the 90s, when a night out could take you to heaven or hell, amongst angels or devils, but my oh my the fun we had. Gemma Amor has captured all of it in this short, sharp shot of a story."
– Neil McRobert, author of Good Boy and host of Talking Scared
"The modern day Goosebumps for adults."
