"A novel full of exquisite mysteries, tender magic, and family secrets. A generational saga that promises to heal the wounds of the past.”
— Christopher Barzak, author of Wonders of the Invisible World |
“Fast-paced and compelling, Angel Falls is a page-turner with well-drawn characters and a terrific supernatural mystery propelling a story that is, at its core, about love, loss and the inevitability of change. I couldn't put it down.”
—Lynda Rucker, author of You’ll Know When You Get There |
“What a lovely horror it is to enter Angel Falls where the air drips with fog, and the tender heart of human desire becomes a fetid root of loss. What a balm it is to go there and heal old wounds, without risk, through the gift of this well-told story!”
—M. Rickert author of The Shipbuilder of Bellfairie and Lucky Girl, How I Became a Horror Writer: A Krampus Story |
“If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. So goes the proverb. But what if you discovered you could make your wishes real? Jessie and Jared struggle to protect the things they hold most dear. When they find Angel Falls may grant them that power, they’re forced to confront the effects their desires have on those they love. Teen and adult readers alike will be captivated, as I was, when mysteries of the past and secrets of the present collide in this eerie story of family, friendship, and the supernatural.”
— Patricia Lillie, author of The Cuckoo Girls |
“A touching, tension filled young adult novel that had this old guy engrossed from start to finish. The authors absolutely nail the emotional angst of two teenaged characters fraught with familial and supernatural terrors, all while developing deep feelings for one another. When it comes to supernatural young adult fiction, Angel Falls is the best novel in the genre I’ve ever read. It’s that good.”
— Tony Tremblay – Bram Stoker nominated author of The Moore House, and Do Not Weep For Me |
