Review: Daughters unto Devils

Daughters unto Devils by Amy Lukavics
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Amy Lukavics' creepy novel, Daughters unto Devils, follows teenage Amanda Verner and her family as they struggle with the threat of another disasterous winter. The previous winter, one of the worst on record, was particularly challenging for the family, and none of them are sure they'll survive another winter like it. To add to the family's trouble, Amanda is pregnant.

Picked this up on recommendation from a friend, and glad I did. This is a great book for Halloween. I won't lie; this starts off a lot slower than it should, and I think that Lukavics does too much telling and not enough showing in some places (if the family is that religious, show us; stop having Amanda repeat to us how religious they are with no evidence of it being shown), but the last third of the book... wow. She really shifts gears and turns up the creep-factor. I was genuinely surprised.

A fast read to get your ready for the Halloween holiday.
