"Looking for dark and eerie read to cap off the end of the summer
season? Look no further than April Genevieve Tucholke's YA debut,
Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea."
--EntertainmentWeekly.com "If you liked Beautiful Creatures (the
book or the movie), Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea is
right up your alley. It has a similar gothic romance you'll be
rooting for the whole book through!"
--Seventeen.com "Deliciously creepy."
--TheAtlanticWire.com "A perfect read for stormy summer
nights."
--The Boston Globe "Mysterious hotties, eerie events and gothic
supernatural romance in a crumbling mansion on the lonely coast of
Maine... We totally want this book to be our new boyfriend."
--MTV.com "Magnificent prose, fascinating histories of residents in
the seaside town, and a boy with a disturbing ability rarely seen
in today's young adult books. Share the first of this trilogy with
fans of Laini Taylor's Daughter of Smoke and Bone."
--Shelf Awareness *"A stunning debut with complex characters, an
atmospheric setting, and a distinct voice... Tucholke has real
talent."
--VOYA, starred review *"Tucholke's gothic tone, plot, and setting,
complete with a deteriorating estate full of dark family secrets,
is reminiscent of Daphne du Maurier or YA fare such as Kami
Garcia's and Margaret Stohl's Beautiful Creatures). Give this one
to fans of creepy mysteries, particularly tales that don't skimp on
the violence."
--SLJ, starred review "A chilling supernatural exploration of free
will and reality's fluidity."
--Publishers Weekly "Tucholke strikes just the right balance
between the windswept, seaside setting and Violet's interior
struggles with right and wrong."
--BCCB "A rich blend of gothic horror and modern romance... A lush
setting and provocative characters elevate this debut above others
in the supernatural-romance genre."
--Kirkus Reviews "Lavishly rendered, darkly romantic, and
beautifully unsettling--Tucholke's debut isn't a book you'll soon
forget."
--Melissa Marr, New York Times bestselling author of the Wicked
Lovely series "Like something between a disturbed dream and a
wicked fantasy, Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea will slip
under your skin and capture the darkest corners of your
imagination. This is a hypnotic, terrifying debut that won't soon
escape my mind."
--Nova Ren Suma, author of Imaginary Girls "Tucholke's story of
devils, innocence, and family secrets is lush and rhythmic as a
song. Seductive with a capital 'S.'"
--Kendare Blake, author of Anna Dressed in Blood and Girl of
Nightmares
