Publisher Description
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.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Arizona-based author Amy Lukavics admits to being a rabid Stephen King fan—and the king of horror’s influence is clear in this spooky story about a pioneer family haunted by dark memories. Sixteen-year-old Amanda Verner has committed sins that have alienated her sister and best friend, Emily, and would shock her god-fearing parents were they ever to find out. Hoping to leave behind the horrors of the previous winter, the Verners depart their mountaintop cabin for an abandoned prairie homestead. Thanks to Lukavics' canny pacing and slow-burn construction of dread, we couldn’t wait to uncover the sinister mysteries at the heart of Daughters Unto Devils.
