Hawk Mountain

Reviews

“The opening lines of Hawk Mountain plummet you into an atmosphere of creeping dread and precarious restraint that won’t let up until the final, shocking moments.”

“Conner Habib’s debut novel is a bleak, dark adrenaline rush.”

“A deeply disturbing yet, somehow, soaring novel I won’t soon forget. It plumbs the depths of traumatized characters trapped within our damaging culture. I couldn’t look away, even when I was looking from between my fingers.”

“Habib ramps up the paranoia to Highsmithian levels."

“Supremely tense…Hawk Mountain channels Patricia Highsmith by way of Hitchcock...Habib builds the sense of dread with slow, carefully meted out notes of obsession and intuition.”

“Gaslighting, masculinity, and cycles of abuse are all skillfully handled in a story that is, to put it lightly, not for the faint of heart.”

“The tension is palpable on every page, and Habib skillfully illustrates the complexity of relationships and the pain of unmet desires."

“This heart-pounding thriller will have readers furiously turning pages.”

“Dripping with menace from the first page, this story of childhood enemies meeting up fifteen years later is utterly enthralling.”
