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 guest house 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.

My thoughts: For some reason I thought this book was about a girl that falls in love with the Devil. MAJOR LET DOWN LOL. Thankfully I did enjoy this read, I just love the main character Violet. She is forced to grow up and be the lady of the house since her parents are away in Paris and her dear grandmother Freddie passed away. I really loved how she dressed in Freddie's clothing and kept her room exactly the same like she never left. I thought renting the guest house was extremely smart since her and her brother Luke had hardly anything to eat and $0 to their name. Then a "old new car" pulls into the driveway of Citzen Kane, like a 1950's car. River West is his name. I don't want to say much because I rather you think it's a book about a girl that falls in love with the devil too.
P.S please read this book with an open mind I think the ending was worth the wait.
