- BÆST (Beast), novel 2019
- HARPIKS (Resin), novel 2015
- SLAGTEREN I LISELEJE (Slagteren i Liseleje), novel 2013
Riel is often described as a new, exciting voice with a refreshingly quirky and original take on language and narrative. She likes to deal with the tortured or conflicted mind and enjoys pushing the plot to its sickest, darkest, even most grotesque limits. And yet the story never becomes unequivocally bleak or depressing since its characters and their actions are depicted with a degree of understanding, compassion and often, humour.

Jeg har en forkærlighed for følelsesdrama (helst ikke mit eget) og at stille spørgsmålstegn ved måden, vi lever vores liv på – to temaer du ofte vil støde på i mine bøger. I mange år har jeg skrevet bøger til unge om de store følelser og den første svære dans med kærligheden og har nu kastet mig over romance-genren. Jeg er fascineret af den magnetiske tiltrækning, den forbudte kærlighed og det svære parforhold, og jeg elsker kombinationen af humor, drama, tunge følelser og store klicheer med plads til også at have noget på hjerte. -
