What to expect

Bloomsbury presents Devils Like Us by L.T. Thompson, read by Stephanie Cannon

Our Flag Means Death meets The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue in this YA historical fantasy about three queer teens facing down a secret magical society.

Cas has a rule: Don’t tell anyone. Not about the nagging gender discomfort, and certainly not about the prophetic visions of untimely deaths. Cas broke this rule only once, and in response, Remy DeWindt ended their friendship forever.

Remy has spent the last eight years researching the secret society that kidnapped her father and the dark magic they practice. She’s determined to take them down and bring her father home—no matter what her former friend Cas thinks happened to him.

Finn is desperately in love with Remy, but Remy would never give in to a desire the church deems a sin. But Finn isn’t worried about sin. She already committed the worst sin of all when she made a sinister bargain for a deadly price—a price that will soon have to be paid.

When Cas’s latest vision sets the three of them on a collision course, they embark on a journey that will force them to confront hidden secrets and deadly magic—and also offer them the chance to find out who they truly are.

Critics Review

Taut with tension and with a story that’s propelled forward by characters I adore, Devils Like Us is extraordinary. L. T. Thompson delivers a breathless adventure that’s full of action, wit, and beautiful self-realization.
Kacen Callender, award winning and bestselling author of Felix Ever After
A triumph. L.T. Thompson's breathtaking prose and masterful storytelling create a mystical, chilling adventure, but Cas, Finn, Remy, and the crew of the Memento Mori feel like home. This story and these characters are burned into my heart forever; I will follow them anywhere.
Jen St. Jude, author of If Tomorrow Doesn't Come
Full of horror, humor, and queer friendship, Devils Like Us is a dark and exciting adventure sure to satisfy any reader who daydreams of running away to sea or plotting revolution.
Sacha Lamb, Stonewall Book Award-winning author of When the Angels Left the Old Country
In this taut, complex fantasy, Thompson skillfully plumbs the . . . protagonists’ doubts, motivations, and desires, as experienced against a vivid society and setting, to examine themes of found family and identity.
Publishers Weekly, starred review
Well-written and exciting.
Kirkus Reviews
Magic and mysticism deftly share space with examinations of self in this gripping, profoundly insightful novel. . . . a dynamic, heartwarming first entry in Thompson's coming-of-age fantasy series.
Shelf Awareness
A creative mash-up of tropes that combines a swashbuckling and piratical adventure with a cozy found family . . . delves into fate, religion, identity, romance, and more with aplomb. Suspenseful, emotional, and highly recommended.
