Praise for CONSENT:

... a layered and thoughtful contemporary novel. The push and pull between what is perceived and what is true throughout the narrative adds another dimension to the unreliable first-person narration as readers and Bea contemplate Rossi’s agenda...
Ohlin delivers an open-ended novel ripe for discussion as readers follow the plot’s twists and turns.                    - School Library Journal 

A compassionate but clearsighted look at student-teacher liaisons.                       - Kirkus


Praise for ALWAYS, FOREVER:

Booklist: "...the ghostly goings-on and the contemporary vibe should keep readers turning pages. A surprise ending twists the plot once more."

Young Adult Books - What We're Reading Now: "Tragic, twisted, and downright terrific ..."

Books YA Love: "[a] spooky tale of love and obsession."

Kathy's Book Blog: "...a combination of a love story, a mystery, young adult angst, creepy possession and survival ... If you’re looking for a paranormal love story, go no further, this is the book for you."

Once Upon a Twilight: "Ohlin shocks you up until the last page. I loved it!"

Katie's Book Blog: " ... a fabulous retelling."

Always, Forever was selected by the Children's Book Council for their 2013 Spring Seasonal Showcase.
