Down with the Shine - Hardcover

"Vividly imagined and hard to put down. You'll think twice about what you wish for."--Mindy McGinnis, author of Not a Drop to Drink

"Sharp, funny, and amiable, Lennie's narration feels a lot like a modern-day Scout's. Contemporary fiction with a touch of magic and a hint of horror, Quinn's latest defies traditional labels and offers readers a different sort of fictitious escape."--Kirkus Reviews

"Successfully blends thriller and fantasy elements for a high-stakes, careful-what-you-wish-for story. A unique, often clever take on family legacies and high school desires with wide appeal."--ALA Booklist

"Quinn's previous titles have involved dark, labyrinthine plots, but here she moves into black humor, doing so with revelry and aplomb."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"Quinn's newest mystery is a complicated thriller with lots of twists, turns, and a large dose of fantasy."--ALA Booklist

"Quinn blends eloquent prose and startling imagery to create a truly creepy small town. Will find an audience among fans of Brenna Yovanoff (The Replacement) and Dia Reeves (Bleeding Violet)."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"A gripping ride. Quinn skillfully occupies the mind of a young woman who turns out to be a monster--yet one who's not beyond redemption."--Horn Book Magazine

"Stunning in its raw emotion. A taut, terrifying supernatural thriller."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"A darkly intelligent novel for readers who prefer flawed heroines and ambiguous endings that aren't tied up in a pretty little 'they all lived happily ever after' bow."--School Library Journal

PRAISE FOR KATE KARYUS QUINN: "Quinn is a gifted writer. Understanding the rules of Gardnerville is like deciphering an intricate puzzle or being locked in a dream."--Publishers Weekly
