Sometimes I believe the baby will never stop crying.
Sixteen-year-old Amanda Verner fears she is losing her mind. When her family move from their small mountain cabin to the vast prairie, Amanda hopes she can leave her haunting memories behind: of her sickly Ma giving birth to a terribly afflicted baby; of the cabin fever that claimed Amanda's sanity; of the boy who she has been meeting in secret. . .
But the Verners arrive on the prairie to find their new home soaked in blood. So much blood. And Amanda has heard stories - about men becoming unhinged and killing their families, about the land being tainted by wickedness.
With guilty secrets weighing down on her, Amanda can't be sure if the true evil lies in the land, or within her soul . . .
Perfect for fans of American Horror Story, Stephen King, Veronica Roth and The Others.

'This isn't a book you'll want to miss' Maximum Pop!
This review was originally posted on It Starts at Midnight This book was absolutely strange and creepy. I was wholly sucked in, and wanted to know all the things. I guess the only problem I actually had with the book is that I did not end up knowing as many of the things as I wanted. But that is a problem in my world. I don't actually know where or when this happened. I guess somewhere in the middle of the country because there's a prairie mentioned? But also a mountain? And like... even though the characters were "old-timey" in the way they lived, was the whole world like that? You see, these things bugged me because I like answers.
On the other hand, this was delightfully weird and awful. So if you enjoy that, Daughters Unto Devils absolutely delivers. And maybe the vagueness was purposeful, but I do love answers. I would totally read a sequel, just saying.
