I Will Never Leave You

Praise

“A spine-tingling ghost story from an exciting new voice. I can’t wait to read what Kara A. Kennedy writes next.”—Kara Thomas, author of The Cheerleaders

“Haunting, healing, and unforgettable… I absolutely adored Kennedy’s emotional, atmospheric debut—and its narrator, Maya, a girl clawing her way back to herself. I Will Never Leave You has a high-stakes plot that will have you tearing through the pages but writing so gorgeous, you’ll want to linger on every line.” —Allison Saft, New York Times bestselling author of A Far Wilder Magic

“Rippling with atmosphere and edge-of-your-seat thrills.”—Rory Power, New York Times bestselling author of Wilder Girls

“A modern ghost story told with hauntingly beautiful prose.”—Lyndall Clipstone, author of Lakesedge

“Both a twisty horror-thriller and an emotionally complex character study, I inhaled this in one obsessive gulp. If this is Kennedy’s debut, we are not ready for the full height of her power.”—Laura Steven, author of The Society for Soulless Girls

“A blistering exploration of the ugliest and tenderest parts of love, Kennedy turns the classic ghost story on its head. Refreshing and painful all at once, this story won’t be leaving my mind for a long time.” —Courtney Gould, author of The Dead and the Dark

“A nuanced look at the many ways a person can be haunted by both the living and the dead. This sapphic horror-thriller debut is something special.”—C.L. Herman, New York Times bestselling author of All of Us Villains

★ ”A healing paranormal tale.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“This gripping thriller debut, with its harrowing take on toxic queer love….nails its portrayal of emotional abuse, possessive relationships, and the pain of letting go.” —Booklist

“[A] sun-drenched paranormal thriller debut.” —Publishers Weekly
