"From page one there's no looking back. True to form, Darcy delivers the first of many twists...immediately hooking the reader. The Pact explores the beauty of sisterhood, the joys of romance, and the trials and tribulations of finding your place in the world."

"In The Pact, Darcy explores the rollercoaster of life on the doubles tennis circuit and adds the tension of a sibling relationship. Samantha and Annie's fraught journey encompasses love, triumph, defeat, grief and joy; all the feels-alongside liberal servings of humour, snappy dialogue and insight into the human condition. I raced through this engaging read, cheering not only for the sisters to win on court, but also for them to find peace and happiness in life. Lisa Darcy at her best."

"Drama, action, love, lust, twists and turns; it's all here. You certainly won't be disappointed reading The Pact."

"The pro-tennis circuit is used by Darcy to explore the complex lives of sisters and doubles partners, Samantha and Annie Callahan as they struggle with their careers and romantic relationships in the hot-house world of elite sport. I was fully engaged by their attempts and frequent failures to understand each other, which ultimately provide opportunities for growth and acceptance. An exciting, pacey read with great characters, plot and dialogue. Highly recommended."

"Sprightly...well crafted and lively...containing sharp insights..."
