I loved BEWARE THE WILD something wicked. --Amy Plum, internationally bestselling author of the Revenant trilogy" Unique, haunting, and filled with characters who steal your heart, you ll be just as intrigued by the rural, small-town world that Parker builds as you will by the magic she weaves in the dark of the wild. --Josephine Angelini, internationally bestselling author of the Starcrossed trilogy" This book, much like its dark and enticing swamp, seeps into your soul. And that is a very, very good thing. --Tara Hudson, author of the Hereafter series" Brimming with mystery, passion, and dark enchantments, BEWARE THE WILD is Southern Gothic at its most beguiling. --Sonia Gensler, author of The Revenant and The Dark BetweenSonia Gensler, author of The Revenant and The Dark BetweenSonia Gensler, author of The Revenant and The Dark Between" Parker has a nice touch with the Southern flavor of Sterling s Louisiana town, steeped in superstition and silence...This engaging debut should enjoy a wide audience. --Kirkus Reviews" A creepy, atmospheric book that will draw readers in...Beware the Wild breathes new life into the teen supernatural genre. --School Library Journal" Parker s assured debut is a creepy southern fairy tale...[with] deeply sympathetic, expressive characters. This vivid swamp magic tale will appeal especially to fans of Brenna Yovanoff and Franny Billingsley. --Booklist" Parker hits all the right notes here, from the oppressively hot but chillingly creepy atmosphere to the slow-burn pacing to the cast of eccentric but believable characters. Fans of Yovanoff s Fiendish and Quinn s Another Little Piece will delight in this folklore- inspired Southern gothic. --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"
