Press Reviews

"A snarly new master of high-octane carnage has risen into view. And she - yes, she - is putting her own audacious stamp on that most venerable of pop genres… Is God Is sees fit to bring down the house."
— The New York Times

"Excellent revenge fantasy… furious and incandescent."
— Time Out New York
