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.

"Gianni let River's sudden rudeness roll right off him. He reached forward and shook River's hand. "I'm Gianni." There was a pause, and River looked at me, and Gianni looked at me, and I turned to the open window and tried not to look at anyone."

I liked the majority of this book! Have you finished it yet? I don't want to spoil anything, but I'd love to discuss... Your teaser selection does make me wish I had the ARC with me just so I could refer back to some of the really beautiful writing *sigh.* (I borrowed it from a friend since it was one of my most anticipated reads of 2013).
ReplyDeleteOoo, this is why I love these teasers. This is a new book to me. Thank you!
