"Reads like a classic sci-fi horror and was full of moments that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up – especially the ending!" – Cynthia Murphy

"The Deadsoul Project is a relentlessly gripping thriller that had me transfixed from beginning to end. It’s ingenious, brilliant and terrifying." — Jonathan Stroud

"Interestingly constructed using prose and formal reporting, and moving back and forth through decades, this chilling read has elements of The X-Files, Doctor Who and more. Historical fiction with a terrifying difference!" — Lesley Parr

"The perfect balance of thrills and chills … It's a little bit The X-Files, a little bit Stephen King-lite and a lot of frightening fun." – The Times Children's Book of the Week

"Mystery, conspiracies, gore and horror make for a tense and compulsive story. An attention-grabbing read, not for the faint of heart." – Irish Examiner

"Smith turns up the thrills to maximum in this fast-moving, terrifying and compulsive read that mixes a sort of X-Files vibe with monster transformations that sit somewhere between Alien and Dracula." — The Letterpress Project
