Drum roll, please....
You stop fearing the devil when you’re holding his hand…
Nothing much exciting rolls through Violet White’s sleepy, seaside town…until River West comes along. River rents the guesthouse behind Violet’s crumbling estate, and as eerie, grim things start to happen, Violet begins to wonder about the boy living in her backyard. Is River just a crooked-smiling liar with pretty eyes and a mysterious past? Or could he be something more? Violet’s grandmother always warned her about the Devil, but she never said he could be a dark-haired boy who takes naps in the sun, who likes coffee, who kisses you in a cemetery...who makes you want to kiss back. Violet’s already so knee-deep in love, she can’t see straight. And that’s just how River likes it.
Blending faded decadence and the thrilling dread of gothic horror, April Genevieve Tucholke weaves a dreamy, twisting contemporary romance, as gorgeously told as it is terrifying—a debut to watch.
"Tucholke's story of devils, innocence, and family secrets is lush, and rhythmic as a song. Seductive with a capital 'S'."

ReplyDeleteBrooklyn Girl, you may kind of fisticuff-y on the outside, but inside you're pure sugar. You know how happy it makes that my cover pleased the Oh girls? And that you think my Devil book is pretty good?
DeleteYeah. So darn happy.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Nature. Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteIt is not set in Scotland, though I did live there for a few years. It actually takes place on the East Coast, kind of Maine-ish.
