Take a look inside

“Small Blue Thing is a great new read for teenage lovers of supernatural romance. It’s the first in a planned trilogy […] and although the story rounds off nicely the reader is left with a chilling taster of what is to follow in book 2.”

“Small Blue Thing is a great story, well written with terrific characters.”

– Birmingham Post

– Bliss Magazine

“S.C. Ransom has written a beautifully descriptive tale that grips you from start to finish.”

– iddybooks

“This was a refreshing read by a debut author from England. . . S.C. Ransom did an excellent job with the concept of this young adult novel.”

“A ghostly romance is the debut fiction title from Nosy Crow…”

– The Bookseller

“I thought this book was brilliant and… unlike anything else in the paranormal YA genre at the moment. I loved the combination of a fascinating mystery, ghostly going-ons, a generous helping of intrigue and a strong romantic thread running throughout. The ending was most definitely jaw-dropping and has left me in a state of high anticipation for what’s going to come next.”

A Dream of Books

“Small Blue Thing will appeal to supernatural romance fans yes, but I do hope it is not “shelved” as just that. With an unusual storyline, some great characters and enchanting, beautiful London at its core, it is simply a great story.”
