About the author

Alyssa Villaire is a writer of young adult fantasy. While she's based in Los Angeles, most of her stories harken back to the places where she grew up-from the woods of rural Indiana to the lakeshores of Wisconsin and Michigan. She has published short stories in Luna Station Quarterly and in an anthology titled Journeys to Uncharted Lands. When she's not writing, Alyssa is probably eating spicy food, watching horror movies, or waiting in a virtual Ticketmaster line.

Report

With echoes of The Raven Boys, The Glittering Edge is an enchanting and atmospheric debut about small town magic, unlikely friendships and the power of found family. Full of heart, humor and simmering romance; I loved every page Kat Delacorte author of With Fire In Their Blood
