BETWEEN THE SPARK AND THE BURN
About the Book
The conclusion to Between the Devil and The Deep Blue Sea, this gothic thriller romance with shades of Stephen King and Daphne du Maurier is a must-read for fans of Beautiful Creatures and Anna Dressed in Blood.
Freddie once told me that the Devil created all the fear in the world.
But then, the Devil once told me that it’s easier to forgive someone for scaring you than for making you cry.
The problem with River West Redding was that he’d done both to me.
The crooked-smiling liar River West Redding, who drove into Violet’s life one summer day and shook her world to pieces, is gone. Violet and Neely, River’s other brother, are left to worry—until they catch a two a.m. radio program about strange events in a distant mountain town. They take off in search of River but are always a step behind, finding instead frenzied towns, witch hunts, and a wind-whipped island with the thrum of something strange and dangerous just under the surface. It isn’t long before Violet begins to wonder if Neely, the one Redding brother she thought trustworthy, has been hiding a secret of his own . . .
Between the Spark and the Burn is the heart-pounding conclusion to the “lavishly rendered, darkly romantic, and beautifully unsettling [Between the Devil and The Deep Blue Sea.]”—Melissa Marr
Our Thoughts
I absolutely loved Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, and I loved spending time in Violet’s old, ruined mansion. But I must admit, the idea of traveling around with Violet and Neely is irresistible to me. I need this book now. And the cover is so striking. It feels cold and adventurous, yet also quite a bit scary. When the Redding brothers are around, you can’t help but feel that cold chill up your spine mixed with a bit of heat… Perfect.

What do you think about the cover?
I LOVE the cover of this book! The writing makes it look creepy
I really love this cover! I like that it’s similar to The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea!!
I’m torn about the cover. The super stylized font is a little out there for my taste, but I’ve seen far worse.
I like it, both the words and the couple.
I agree with Annachiara about the type, but I do like how “burn” is accented in orange. It’s like a slow upside-down burn, and contrasts well with the icy/winter background.
The cover is complements the first book. It’s gorgeous and haunting. I love it!
Oooh, I love it! I think it’s just as gorgeous as the first, intriguing.
I think the cover is awesome! But I’m just in love with the one for Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea 🙂
This cover is so awesome- the complexity between the background and the creepy font make me want to read it ASAP! 🙂

Utterly gorgeous and it makes me yearn for winter. Although I do wish the typography matched the first. I’m OCD like that though.
