If you enjoy Horror, Historical Fiction, and Young Adult Novels then I think you will enjoy Daughters Unto Devils. Back then, mental illnesses were seen as demon possessions and other demonic entities.
I enjoyed this novel, I felt like the creepiness was made all the better in the fact that this was when we were still expanding west. Once innocent things turned into demonic terrifying entities by the end. It not only had me question Amanda’s sanity but the whole prairies’. Overall, I felt like this was a good creepy historical fiction that chilled me. The only devil inside of you is the one you created yourself.”-Amy Lukavics, Daughters Unto Devils “You are stronger than you think you are. She fell in love, and he abandoned her when she told him she was pregnant. I felt bad for Amanda in the fact she had no control over her circumstances. I felt like this book was hammering home the message of the spiritual war that is always going on. What made this better was the fact of how this reminded me somewhat of The Donner Party. This novel is full of mystery and spooky tension. I am into the paranormal, I enjoy listening to ghost stories even though I scare easily. Now let’s see if Daughters Unto Devils will meet my expectations. After enjoying Rot & Ruin by Jonathan Maberry, I thought I might give the Young Adult genre another chance.
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. And as the days pass, it is obvious to Amanda that something isn’t right on the prairie. When the Verners arrive at their new home, a large cabin abandoned by its previous owners, they discover the inside covered in 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. 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.
