When Devils Sing by Xan Kaur

5.0

SO thankful to netgalley for the arc, because this book is everything I could ever want. A brilliant debut that left me desperate to see what Kaur writes next.

The devil definitely came down to Georgia—and brought with it all the sticky, suffocating, terrifying heat of a great book. The atmosphere is so rich, you can practically feel the humidity on your skin and hear the cicadas buzzing in your ears. .

I absolutely LOVE how well Kaur wrote the four POVs. It was so well done that I was genuinely looking forward to POV switches, which is NOT how I usually feel. We follow four main characters, and somehow, every single one has a distinct, vibrant voice. Each character feels so real, that I truly felt empathy (and in some cases repulsion) for each character. Neera especially wrecked me (in the best way possible) and I really enjoyed her POVs.

It’s honestly wild that this is Kaur’s debut—it’s so masterfully written, I could quite literally feel the atmosphere on every page. I read the entire thing in just two sittings and I just know this is going to blow up! Even if you’re not typically drawn to YA or multi-POV stories, trust me: this one will win you over.
