“A book that knocks you off your feet while dropping the kind of knowledge that'll keep you down for the count. Prepare to BE slain.” —Nic Stone, New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin and Odd One Out
“More than a novel, SLAY is a conversation about safe spaces, why they’re necessary for minorities, and why we should champion their right to exist without being branded exclusionary or racist.” —Booklist, starred review

“Morris does a fantastic job of showing diversity within the black community. . . . Gamers and black activists alike will be ready to SLAY all day.” —Kirkus Reviews

“SLAY doesn't play games with its bold content and character development, guiding readers through various complex levels that explore the wide, gorgeous African diaspora.” —Shelf Awareness
“Offers a richly global perspective on the Black diaspora.” —BCCB
