A gothic thriller romance with shades of Stephen King and F. Scott Fitzgerald, set against a creepy summertime backdrop

Aside from the occasional homeless train jumper, nothing much exciting rolls through Violet White’s sleepy, seaside town... until the charismatic River West comes along. River rents the guesthouse behind Violet’s crumbling estate, and as strange, scary things grip her town, Violet begins to wonder about the boy living in her backyard. Is River just a crooked smiling liar with sweet eyes and a mysterious past? Or could he be something more? Violet’s grandmother always warned her about the Devil. But she never told Violet that the Devil could be a pretty boy who likes coffee, who kisses you in a cemetery... who makes you fall in love.

A must-read for fans of Beautiful Creatures, The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, and Anna Dressed in Blood.
