Readers will be hooked from the first line of this lyrical and suspenseful mystery/fantasy (part thriller too) of a brave and compassionate girl. . . . DeStefano artfully concocts a moving and multilayered tale that is an effective mix of genres and tones, at times contemplative and philosophical yet also macabre and psychologically sophisticated. Love, loss, and hope are at the heart of this exciting read. Kirkus Reviews A harrowing debut. . . . DeStefano has an observant eye. Publishers Weekly on WITHER A concoction of tension and love with a cliff-hanger ending.

This is a page-turner, and waiting for the next book will be hard, hard, hard. Booklist on PERFECT RUIN: THE INTERNMENT CHRONICLES BOOK 1 The perfect book to hand to readers looking for the mysterious and spooky. Booklist DeStefano creates a beguiling world through haunting images and descriptions. . . An eerie, moving story about 'that murky place between this world and the one that comes after it.' Publishers Weekly Startlingly dark. . . Sophisticated readers will appreciate the vivid characters with rich internal lives. Readers who enjoyed A.J. Paquette's Rules for Ghosting and Grave Images by Jenny Goebel will want to give this title a try.
