Can’t Wait Wednesday| The Devil Makes Three – Tori Bovalino

We wanted to do another bookish meme on Wednesday and after doing Can’t Wait Wednesday a few times we decided that would be a fun one to bring around more often! About twice a month you’ll see this meme on our blog.

Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breakingthe Spine.

Tess Matheson only wants three things: time to practice her cello, for her sister to be happy, and for everyone else to leave her alone.

Instead, Tess finds herself working all summer at her boarding school library, shelving books and dealing with the intolerable patrons. The worst of them is Eliot Birch: snide, privileged, and constantly requesting forbidden grimoires. After a bargain with Eliot leads to the discovery of an ancient book in the library’s grimoire collection, the pair accidentally unleash a book-bound demon.

The demon will stop at nothing to stay free, manipulating ink to threaten those Tess loves and dismantling Eliot’s strange magic. Tess is plagued by terrible dreams of the devil and haunting memories of a boy who wears Eliot’s face. All she knows is to stay free, the demon needs her… and he’ll have her, dead or alive.

 

The Devil Makes Three sounds like a book I’m in the mood for at the moment. I’ve really been enjoying darker stories and I’d stay a book-bound demon escaping is pretty dark. Also, the setting had me sold. A boarding school library?!? Yes, please! I’ve been eyeing this book for awhile and don’t have much longer to wait. This one releases in about a month.

What do you think? Is The Devil Makes Three a book that you would read? Also, if you have any recommendations for “darker” books, please let me know in the comments! I’m really looking for some recommendations.

  1. The escape of a book-bound demon is definitely dark — I am liking the sound of this so much!

  2. I love the sound of this one. I hadn’t heard of it before but it’s definitely going on my wish list. I hope you enjoy it when you read it!
