Critical Reviews
"Fascinating . . . [Sligar] knits together themes of "the modern" and "legacy" skillfully."
--LitHub
--Jessica Knoll, New York Times bestselling author of Bright Young Women and Luckiest Girl Alive "Vantage Point is a thriller for our times, where politics meets paranoia, and technology turns into terror. Sara Sligar has tapped into our most contemporary fears and turned them into a feast of a story. I devoured this book."
--Janelle Brown, New York Times-bestselling author of Pretty Things and I'll Be You
"Vantage Point is a haunting, pitch perfect exploration of paranoia and perception, the ways we craft our identity both publicly and in our own minds, and the fine line between loyalty and complicity, power and control. Sara Sligar is that rare writer whose high concept is matched by faultless prose, rich emotional insight, and a vein of delicious dark humor that bleeds when pressed. This is a novel to devour, then savor. I loved every mind-bending page."
--Katie Gutierrez, author of national bestseller More Than You'll Ever Know
"Vantage Point is a sophisticated suspense novel that's as thought-provoking as it is unnerving. With her signature seductive prose, Sligar holds up a mirror to the dark side of privilege and the true horrors of being a woman on the internet, crafting a story that feels like shattered glass: brilliant and exquisite, but it will cut you deep."
--Layne Fargo, author of The Favorites and They Never Learn "The kind of suspense novel that slithers under your skin--crackling with sharp writing and unforgettable characters. Sara Sligar makes it look easy with Vantage Point, an unforgettable story of family, identity, and how the two intersect--sometimes with deadly results."
--Alex Segura, bestselling author of Secret Identity and Alter Ego
"Sara Sligar's new novel is a primal scream, sounding a harrowing alarm about how thin (and deadly) the line between synthetic and real has become. A terrifying and uncanny novel, Vantage Point takes dupes and deep fakes to another level. Even the shrewdest reader will be left off kilter and unable to answer the most simple question: what did I just see?"
--Katy Hays, New York Times-bestselling author of The Cloisters
"Vantage Point is a thoroughly modern Gothic novel that will have you turning its pages at warp speed. Sara Sligar has written a fearsome, sharp novel that is both timeless and culturally relevant and filled with dark delights."
--Ivy Pochoda, author of Sing Her Down
