ON PAVLOVA RISING: "A fresh honest voice telling an Australian story in a thought-provoking and visual way. Curl up on your couch with your favourite blanket, a tumbler of deep velvety red (large!) and a decadent stash of dark chocolate so you can be engrossed in a compelling story of art, galleries, mystery and human connection. There is a peaceful luminosity that emerges from Megan’s writing like the glow from a flickering bush campfire. The precise contrasting brush strokes of an artist are evident as she weaves between light and dark moments, a journey from playful moments to the deeply thoughtful. I can’t wait to be captivated by Megan’s next novel!"

“Cookie Jar’s contemporary short stories make the perfect holiday read - or in amongst life’s daily demands. Megan's celebration of Australian culture is a highly enjoyable one. I also like how the last story takes you through New York’s pacy streets with a nail-biting plot. Highly recommend.”

ON PAVLOVA RISING: "A funny and beautiful story that reminded me of all the things I love- art, food, good people, not taking yourself too seriously (or, alternately, taking yourself way too seriously and wearing it like a neon sign) and, of course, dogs who seem to know exactly what is going on. The main character's voice is believable, as is her quest. I loved the patchwork quilt of support characters, they were written with crazy-good detail and an eye for quirky. The story is great, it's a fun read and I can't wait for more."

ON PAVLOVA RISING: "Megan Hills' writing is incredibly witty and intelligent. It's an easy and also hugely informative read, i.e. about Aboriginal art and Western culture's dissonance in understanding it and it's context. I'm laughing and learning so much!"

ON PAVLOVA RISING: Wow, a journey into the world of art. Better still a mystery journey. Loved being back in the art world, a place I frequented during my school/uni days. Pavlova Rising had me suckered in from the first page and the pace of this fun and quirky adventure kept me there. It’s rare we have the opportunity to glimpse the lives of our indigenous landlords, here in Pavlova Rising the author takes us there as she drags the reluctant heroine Anna way out of her comfort zone. A must read. Can’t wait to see what Megan Hills has in store for us in her next dalliance into the world of storytelling.

ON PAVLOVA RISING: "yeah!!! this book is so funny, smart and intriguing. megan's writing style is so intoxicating and engaging. i love the vibe and magic of the world she creates— art, intrigue and curiosity. highly recommended!."

ON PAVLOVA RISING: There's so much to love about this book, from the colorful characters of the art world and academia, to the thoughtful approach to contemporary Indigenous art and artists. I was hooked, and couldn't put this book down, I had to know how the mystery ended! I also loved all the Aussie details and dialogue, it made me homesick for the country! Looking forward to the next publication.

“Megan Hills’ new mystery novel, Pavlova Rising, is an entertaining romp through the Sydney art world. Heaps of chuckles? Yep! Vividly entertaining characters? Check. Wit and intelligence? You betcha. Grab yourself a copy. Also makes the perfect gift for anyone who appreciates masterful storytelling.”

"It's been a long time since I've read a 'laugh out loud' book and Pavlova Rising did not disappoint. Hilarious throughout, beautifully flawed, loveable chartacters mixed with the calming wisdom of others and the interactions between the two have been cleverly written for ultimate entertainment. And within these interactions, the reader is immersed in the world of art, academia and Australian Indigenous culture in a considered and thoughtful way. Through Pavlova Rising, we travel to the Australian outback and an Indigenous community, a rare journey for many including myself - I am grateful for the experience."
