Full review from Colin Drury, The Independent

Incest, suicide, drug abuse, lesbian affairs and a bloke who attempts to self-administer a lobotomy using a household drill: it’s fair to say The Raven Wheel isn’t your average YA novel. For good measure, there’s also more swearing than a Tarantino film and lashings of Frosty Jack’s cider.

But this is a debut that is as brilliant as it is brutal. Dark, complex and gripping. In Ria, Stone has created a (anti) heroine for the post-millennial generation: internally conflicted perhaps but fearless, frank and absolutely unwilling to let those who have wronged her get away with it. A teenager not to be trifled with.
