“The Luminaries will transport you to an stunning atmospheric world full of forests, friendship, monsters, and family. Winnie is fighting to become who she is meant to be and will inspire you to do the same. I was completely swept away to Hemlock Falls and I never wanted to leave!”
—Meghan Vanderlee, Schuler Books in Grand Rapids, MI
“Susan Dennard’s newest series is both wildly fun and truly captivating. Impossible to put down, The Luminaries will lead you on a twisted trail that will have you gasping to the very end.”
—Kailey Steward, Barnes & Noble in Oak Brook, IL
“What a delight to be back in the world of the Luminaries with Winnie, Erica and #UghJay. I loved everything about Hemlock Falls - the eerie forest, nightmare monsters, fast paced action, family secrets - and cheered for Winnie as she chased her dream of joining the Luminaries against all odds. Told in pitch perfect style, once I started reading I could not put it down.”
—Angela Mann, Kepler’s Books in Menlo Park, CA
“You know the feeling of excitement when you’re at the very top of the first hill on a roller coaster looking down? That’s how I feel after reading the cliffhanger!”
—Jenna Arter, The Country Bookshop in Southern Pines, NC
“For fans of Supernatural, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the Nightmareverse series, and the Shadowhunters Chronicles by Cassandra Clare comes a new group of monster-hunting teens and terrifying monsters.
As an outcast of The Luminaries, the secret society sworn to protect the world against a slumbering spirit's physical nightmares, Winnie Wednesday struggles to find her place in her small town. After her dad was revealed to be an enemy of the Luminaries, Winnie's entire family was exiled, and her whole world torn apart.
Winnie is determined to prove herself a worthy hunter and restore her family's name even without the backing of the Luminaries. Armed with second-hand armor, obstacle training from a homemade course in her house, and an encyclopedic knowledge of the nightmares that dwell in the forest, Winnie thinks she's ready for the hunter trials, but soon realizes she's in way over her head.
Thrown into a dark forest with banshees, vampiras, manticores, werewolves, and a mysterious otherworldly whispering entity, hunter-in-training Winnie soon realizes she'll have to ally with other hunters-in-training who had ignored her for years to survive the forest - which means talking to her ex best friend, Jay, who all the other teen hunters swoon over. (UGH.)
Supernatural mysteries, family secrets, lies, terrifying monsters, loyal friends, and budding romance had me staying up all night to finish this YA contemporary dark fantasy. I need the next installment immediately!
Winnie made this book for me - a smart and intuitive heroine with determination and grit who made mistakes and persevered despite every obstacle in her way. “
