Praise for The Springsweet: "A lovely historical romance. . . . The
author conjures a convincing picture of life on the Oklahoma
prairie, painting an absorbing portrait of the landscape and of the
people there. . . . A high-quality, absorbing drama."--Kirkus
Reviews "The Springsweet will steal your heart. Zora is a wounded
heroine who had me cheering as she rediscovers the strength she
thought she'd lost. Blend in a smoldering, yet refreshingly subtle
hero, and add a twist of magic and you have a perfect romance in
the Old West with another of Saundra Mitchell's signature rich and
nuanced historic settings!"--Aprilynne Pike, New York Times
bestselling author of Wings and Spells "I didn't think YA
historicals could get better than The Vespertine. The Springsweet
proved me wrong. This is a gorgeous, unputdownable book that will
stay with you long after it's through. Saundra Mitchell just gets
better and better."--Sarah MacLean, NYT and USA Today bestselling
Author of Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake and Ten Ways to
Be Adored When Landing a Lord "With Saundra Mitchell's trademark
evocative and gorgeous language, The Springsweet takes us across
the plains, where the people thirst for love just as the land
thirsts for water. I never wanted this book to end!"--Carrie Ryan,
New York Times best-selling author of The Forest of Hands and Teeth
series Praise for The Vespertine: "[A] richly conceived historical
romance. . . . Fans of Libba Bray's A Great and Terrible Beauty
will find themselves enchanted by this atmospheric tale."--Bulletin
"Equal parts vivid period detail, gothic melodrama, and foreboding
premonitions coming true . . . an absorbing tale."--Booklist
"Written in a passionate, inviting voice, The Vespertine is a rich,
historical novel of otherworldly power, forbidden romance, and
questionable motives."
--Aprilynne Pike, New York Times Bestselling Author of Wings and
Spells "Sheer pleasure from beginning to end."--TeenReads.com "I
savored every word of The Vespertine; I knew it was an amazing book
from the first page and I was entranced until the very
last."--Carrie Ryan, New York Times bestselling author of The
Forest of Hands and Teeth series Praise for The Elementals: "In The
Elementals the worlds of The Vespertine and The Springsweet collide
with glass-brittle hopes and devastating consequences. The children
of the supernatural must learn what their parents have long known,
that even the most innocent magic demands a cost. A sumptuous read,
as bittersweet as it is beautiful."--Aprilynne Pike, New York Times
bestselling author of Wings and Spells "Saundra Mitchell pulls off
a thrilling conclusion to a mesmerizing series! She just gets
better and better!"--Carrie Ryan, New York Times bestselling author
of The Forest of Hands and Teeth series "Mitchell convincingly
portrays the glittering, raucous L.A. of the burgeoning movie
industry and the oppressive unease of looming war."--Booklist
