Kirkus Review
"Gruesome and powerful, with a shudder on almost every page: With awesome skill, Siporin can switch from detailing the ugly genesis and aftermath of racism to evoking the physical and emotional exhaustion of firefighters to setting a tender scene for a child's favorite bedtime story."
Library Journal
"Fire's Edge offers intense prose, excitable characters and action, and in your face subject matter from a journalist who has covered hate crimes."
Publisher's Weekly
"a powerful, sensitive first novel about hate crime in the
Pacific Northwest."
Whitney Scott, BookList
"a well-paced first novel of social import that will leave readers anticipating his next."
