ABOUT DEVILS LIKE US
Our Flag Means Death meets The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue in this YA historical fantasy about three queer teens facing down a secret magical society.
Cas has a rule: Don't tell anyone. Not about the nagging gender discomfort, and certainly not about the prophetic visions of untimely deaths. Cas broke this rule only once, and in response, Remy DeWindt ended their friendship forever.
Remy has spent the last eight years researching the secret society that kidnapped her father and the dark magic they practice. She's determined to take them down and bring her father home-no matter what her former friend Cas thinks happened to him.
Finn is desperately in love with Remy, but Remy would never give in to a desire the church deems a sin. But Finn isn't worried about sin. She already committed the worst sin of all when she made a sinister bargain for a deadly price-a price that will soon have to be paid.
When Cas's latest vision sets the three of them on a collision course, they embark on a journey that will force them to confront hidden secrets and deadly magic-and also offer them the chance to find out who they truly are.

“A triumph. L.T. Thompson's breathtaking prose and masterful storytelling create a mystical, chilling adventure, but Cas, Finn, Remy, and the crew of the Memento Mori feel like home.

“Full of horror, humor, and queer friendship, Devils Like Us is a dark and exciting adventure sure to satisfy any reader who daydreams of running away to sea or plotting revolution.” —Sacha Lamb, Stonewall Book Award-winning author of When the Angels Left the Old Country
