In a small town in the Rockies, the mountain known as the Devil’s Tail is said to be cursed by a trickster spirit, causing anyone who glimpses it to lose someone they love. Author Caroline Lavoie’s debut novel, Devil by the Tail (Deep Hearts YA $21.99) follows protagonist Alex, as she dismisses the curse, believing the beast only haunts her nightmares, and avoids close relationships to protect herself. But when Amka moves to town, Alex’s emotional walls begin to fall. But what if Alex’s fear of loss is a curse of its own? To break the curse, Alex must face a dangerous path on the Devil’s Tail, where the beast waits. 9781998055616
