€11.90

When a teenage runaway takes the identity of a missing kid to avoid conversion therapy, he is dragged into a sinister conspiracy alongside his cute next-door neighbour.

The Reappearance of Rachel Price meets They Both Die at the End in this gripping queer thriller filled with stolen identity, true crime and first love, from the author of the bestselling All That's Left in the World.

Desperate to escape conversion therapy, a queer sixteen-year-old runaway steals the identity of a missing boy. But when Nathaniel Beaumont's family come to take him home, 'Nate' is trapped in a web of lies.

Then he meets Miles - the cute, clever and true-crime-obsessed boy next-door - and his cover is blown. Rather than turn him in, Miles agrees to help 'Nate' in exchange for exposing the truth about what happened to his childhood friend.

But as their investigation turns dangerous and their feelings turn real, time is running out to discover why Nathaniel Beaumont disappeared. . . and who might want to keep it that way.

MEDIA REVIEWS

Brimming with darkness and suspense, each page of Better the Devil ramps up on a slow, creeping dread until the explosive, incredibly tense climax. A smart, sinister book that also explores themes of self-acceptance and identity - I flew through it - Ravena Guron, author of This Book Kills
