Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea

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

This book it was creepy, I won't lie it was. There was some messed up shit. The characters that's what made the book, Violet was just odd, she wears her dead grandmas clothes, she doesn't have any friends, she really is not living the life of a teenager. Her parents are never around, and not like in those books where there parents work late her parents work across sea's, and they have no money.
River he was probably my favorite person in this book mostly because he had different aspects that made the book, he made the book as creepy as it was, he added that sense of mystery and horror.
I'm not going to lie, but some parts were disgusting. But the plot was good, the mystery was good it was so unique and different. I would recommend you read this, it wasn't my favorite book but it was so unique that I loved it. 5 out of 5 stars.
