Louisa's Books
“An eerily broken world, a whip smart, badass heroine, a brutally gorgeous angel, and a shocking twist at the end? Say less. I couldn't put it down.”
–Lauren Kate,
#1 New York Times bestselling author of the Fallen series
“This is a dystopian romance unlike any I’ve read before. Carmody captivates you from the very first page with all the nostalgia of 2010’s fantasy (think Mortal Instruments!) and a delicious enemies-to-lovers romance that sinks its teeth into you. I could put it down!”
– Brooke Fast,
author of To Cage a Wild Bird
"A magical debut; I feel I have witnessed the beginning of a new legend"
– Brigitte Knightley,
Sunday Times bestselling author of
The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy
