Publisher's Summary

When 15-year-old Jules Mathis comes home from school to find a strange girl sitting in her kitchen, her psychiatrist mother reveals that Mae is one of her patients at the hospital and will be staying with their family for a few days. But soon Mae is wearing Jules' clothes, sleeping in her bedroom, edging her out of her position on the school paper, and flirting with Jules' crush. And Mae has no intention of leaving.

Then things get weird.

Jules walks in on a half-dressed Mae, startled to see a pentagram carved into Mae's back. Jules pieces together clues and discovers that Mae is a survivor of the strange cult that's embedded in a nearby town. And the cult will stop at nothing to get Mae back.

What the critics say

" Devil in Ohio kept me up until 3 a.m. with the lights on - in a good way. It's a haunting thriller for readers who like fear, humor, and heart in one package." (Meredith Goldstein, advice columnist and feature reporter for The Boston Globe, author of Chemistry Lessons)
"Gripping, urgent and addictive, Devil in Ohio balances the dark exploration of cults with a compelling and often humorous take on teen social dynamics. This is the debut you won't want to miss." (Aditi Khorana, author of The Library of Fates and Mirror in the Sky)

Not a fan of the teen drama

I was really excited to listen to this book, the plot sounded right up my alley.
I was disappointed that the book focused more on the teen drama rather than Mae’s background and the cult she’s haunted by. I felt like Suzanne’s side story into investigating the cult was not developed enough, and either should have been the primary focus or not done at all. The last hour of the book was what was the most interesting, and it still left a lot to be desired.
This book had so much potential, I hope the Netflix series does a better job.
