When Devils Sing
by Xan Kaur
Thank you to NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.
When Devils Sing is a hauntingly beautiful debut that blends Southern Gothic horror with a coming-of-age mystery steeped in grief, guilt, and generational trauma. Xan Kaur’s writing is lyrical and immersive, casting a slow, smoldering spell over a story that pulses with dread and heart.
At the core of the novel is a tangled web of complicated family dynamics and a town steeped in secrets. When a tragedy shatters the uneasy stillness of their community, an unlikely team of teens bands together to uncover what really happened, and in doing so: they’re forced to confront the damage left behind by those who came before them. The choices they face are not easy, and Kaur does not shy away from the emotional and moral weight of their journey.
