A Crooked Mark

A Crooked Mark is a dark and sinister debut YA novel about a teen boy who must hunt down those marked by the devil - including the girl he has fallen for, now in paperback.

Perfect for fans of Neal Shusterman and Kendare Blake.

A Crooked Mark tells the story of Rae Winter, who should be dead. Some say that walking away from the car crash that killed her dad is a miracle. However, seventeen-year-old Matthew Watts knows that the forces of Good aren't the only ones at work. The devil, Lucifer himself, can mark a soul about to pass on, sending it back to the land of the living to carry out his evil will.

Matt has grown up moving from town to town alongside his father, hunting anyone who has this mark. They have one purpose: find these people and exterminate them.

After helping his father for years, Matt takes on his own mission: Rae Winter, miracle survivor. But when Matt starts to fall for Rae and make friends for the first time in his life, he's not sure who or what to believe anymore. How can someone like Rae—thoughtful, smart, and kind—be an agent of the devil?

As the lines between reality and fantasy, myth and paranoia blur, Matt confronts an awful truth... What if the devil's mark doesn't exist?
