Alecto Gray Will Hunt You Down

When a boy in her town starts claiming that a demon is stalking him – Alecto Gray has no choice but to investigate. After all, that’s exactly what her brother Lucas said, right before he died. Soon, Alecto’s investigation leads her to uncover a sinister underbelly to her small seaside town with two warring factions at its heart. Armed only with her razor-sharp wit and a talent for getting into trouble, Alec endures threats and kidnappings, and even the spark of a new romance, in order to get to the truth. But can she handle the truth or will the darkness at the heart of the mystery destroy her as well?

Laure Eve is a French British hybrid who grew up in Cornwall. Her first novel, Fearsome Dreamer, is a wonderfully ambitious but lusciously rich and multi-layered novel, a magnificently crafted alternate universe dripping with sensuous imagination, characters to fall in love with and an unputdownable storyline. Her debut has been longlisted for the Branford Boase Children’s Prize and Waterstone’s Childrens Prize. She has published a second novel called The Illusionists. Laure Eve’s next novel, The Graces, is a seductive, powerful and startlingly original young-adult thriller in the vein of The Virgin Suicides and The Secret History (and films such as The Craft). This is her first novel for older YA (16+) readers. It was shortlisted for the YA Book Prize 2017. The Curses, which continues the magic of The Graces, was published in 2018. Blackheart Knight, was  published in 2021 by Quercus.
