Two-Step Devil is a haunting Southern Gothic novel that follows the unlikely bond between a reclusive visionary known as the Prophet and a teenage girl named Michael, whom he rescues from a life of trafficking. Blending lyrical prose with philosophical inquiry in deeply Southern atmosphere.

stretchkev Her experimental structure pushes narrative boundaries and succeeds in portraying Michael‘s transformation with nuance and grace, though some of the devil‘s monologues feel overly stylized. The novel‘s dual endings offer contrasting visions of Michael‘s fate, but the second is less compelling. 3w

Fourmile | Watt Key

The #MiddleGradeMonday prompt this week was to share books with a number in the title. I completely forgot to check my shelf then, but today I found these.

I tagged Fourmile as it and other books by Watt Key are often well liked by some of my more reluctant readers and also not as well known as I think they should be.
