Praise for Casually Homicidal

“With a daring premise and striking, staccato prose, Casually Homicidal takes you away on an adventure like no other. Bennett’s sophomore novel puts its finger on the pulse of what it means to love, to hate, to lose, to bleed, to fight, to suffer, to live. With fearsome heights and dramatic lows, Casually Homicidal is a bloody story that’s sure to leave you breathless.” 

​

—Brian McBride, award-winning author of The Mammoth Adventures

Casually Homicidal is a true glance into the most raw and real of human emotions through the lens of two equally broken and beautiful people. Olivia’s writing captivates from the first page: this is a thrilling read that you do not want to miss.”

​

—Maddyson Wilson, author of Don't Blame the Reckless

Casually Homicidal is a visceral, honest, and evocative look into the somber lives of characters that feel real. Olivia expertly crafts the suspense throughout, using atmosphere to her advantage in order to heighten the tension. At times heartfelt and others unsettling, one thing is certain: This is one road trip you will not forget.”

​

—McCaid Paul, author of The Summersville Series

“An adventure, literally as well as metaphorically, showcasing the vast impact of our relationships and our own perceptions of the world. Rich in its emotional depth, gruesomely raw on the page, and unforgettable with its powerful message, Casually Homicidal will leave you breathless, offering important reflection on what it means to endure pain, then heal.”
