Synopsis

Winnie Flynn doesn’t believe in ghosts. (Though she wouldn’t mind a visit from her mom, explaining why she took her own life.) When her mysterious aunt Maggie recruits Winnie to spend a summer working as a production assistant on the reality TV hit, Fantastic, Fearsome, Winnie suddenly finds herself in the one place her mother would never go: New Jersey. The legend of the famous Jersey Devil makes perfect fodder for the show. But as the filming progresses, Winnie sees and hears things that make her think that the Devil might not be totally fake after all. Things about her mother’s death that might explain why she’s never met Aunt Maggie until now. Winnie soon discovers her family’s history is deeply entwined with the Devil’s. If she’s going to make it out of the Pine Barrens alive, she might have to start believing in what her aunt is telling her—and find out what she isn’t. “Take your favorite reality show, throw in Joss Whedon, and then top it off with the kind of creepy, blood-chilling storytelling that only the Ostows can conceive and you've got one of the most terrifying reads of the year. The Devil and Winnie Flynn will haunt you long after you've finished it.”—Michael Buckley, New York Times bestselling author of Undertow

Goodreads review by Jessica

Hmm. I liked the idea of this. The format of the book is cool, with scripts and pictures throughout, and the idea is super interesting (reality show looking for the Jersey Devil).

Goodreads review by Alisha Marie

I wanted to like The Devil and Winnie Flynn so much. I'm a huge horror buff, so the premise of The Devil and Winnie Flynn was right up my alley. It just seemed so interesting. Unfortunately, this book fell flat in almost every conceivable way. I get where The Devil and Winnie Flynn wanted to go. It......more

Goodreads review by Jessica

The premise of this book got me through the first quarter or so where I was trying to get my bearings. A behind the scenes YA that takes place on the set of a reality show about ghost hunters? It's hard to say no to that. At first, it can feel a bit disjointed as Ostow plays around with form. One mi......more
