But with the guilt and shame of her sins weighing on her, Amanda can't be sure if the true evil lies in the land, or deep within her soul. She's heard stories of lands being tainted by evil, of men losing their minds and killing their families, and there is something strange about the doctor and his son who live in the woods on the edge of the prairie. This title is her debut novel and I found it very promising. And as the days pass, it is obvious to Amanda that something isn't right on the prairie. Daughters Unto Devils is a standalone, young-adult story of horror written by Amy Lukavics. When the Verners arrive at their new home, a large cabin abandoned by its previous owners, they discover the inside covered in blood. Psalm 106:37-38 King James Version 37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, 38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood. She can leave behind the memory of the past winter of her sickly ma giving birth to a baby sister who cries endlessly of the terrifying visions she saw as her sanity began to slip, the victim of cabin fever and most of all, the memories of the boy she has been secretly meeting with as a distraction from her pain. Horror is one of the most difficult and least-written genres for YA, but I’ve got a soft spot for it and always want more. When sixteen-year-old Amanda Verner's family decides to move from their small mountain cabin to the vast prairie, she hopes it is her chance for a fresh start. Amy Lukavics’ debut novel Daughters Unto Devils impressed me and it remains one of my favorite YA horror novels, but her follow-up The Women in the Walls was almost the exact opposite for me.
