The November Girl
LOCUS Magazine: A Best Book of 2017!
I am Anda, and the lake is my mother. I am the November storms that terrify sailors and sink ships. With their deaths, I keep my little island on Lake Superior alive.
Hector has come here to hide from his family until he turns eighteen. Isle Royale is shut down for the winter, and there's no one here but me. And now him.
Hector is running from the violence in his life, but violence runs through my veins. I should send him away, to keep him safe. But I'm half human, too, and Hector makes me want to listen to my foolish, half-human heart. And if I do, I can't protect him from the storms coming for us.

The November Girl is a tragic, beautifully written book that needs all of the trigger warnings. There's self-harm, self-loathing, teens in peril, and a wonderful magical realism story that has to do with saving yourself and saving each other. It's dark, strangely satisfying, and there's so much heart. What a gorgeous book. While YA, I'd recommend it for more mature readers due to subject matter. Simply stunning.
