Seven Endless Forests

Rien de bien excitant ne se passe jamais dans la petite ville balnéaire où vit Violet White. Jusqu’au jour où s’y installe un certain River West. Dès son arrivée, des choses étranges commencent à se produire dans la ville. Violet s’interroge sur ce garçon qui habite désormais dans l’arrière-cour de chez elle. Est-il seulement un très beau menteur au sourire fourbe et au passé mystérieux ? Ou pourrait-il être plus que cela ? La grand-mère de Violet l’a toujours mise en garde contre le diable, mais elle n’a jamais dit qu'il pouvait avoir l’apparence d’un garçon aux cheveux noirs qui fait des siestes au soleil, aime le café, vous embrasse dans un cimetière... et vous donne envie de l'embrasser en retour. Violet est aveuglée par son charme et perd toute lucidité. Exactement comme le voulait River... La peur du diable ne disparaît que lorsqu’on lui tient la main...

Le jour où le diable m'a trouvée

River West Redding, ce beau menteur qui, un beau jour d’été, avait surgi dans la vie de Violet avec son énigmatique sourire en coin et avait réduit son univers à néant, est parti. L’hiver est là. Violet et Neely, le second frère de River, se rongent les sangs – jusqu’à la nuit où ils ont vent d’étranges événements ayant lieu dans un lointain village des Appalaches. Ils se lancent à la recherche de River, sans parvenir à le rattraper. Lui, imperturbable, laisse dans son sillage des villes prises de frénésie, des chasses aux sorcières et une mystérieuse île battue par les vents qui diffuse un imperceptible sentiment d’étrangeté et de danger. Très vite, Violet se demande si Neely, le seul de la fratrie des Redding qu’elle estimait fiable, ne lui cache pas également un secret... Elle ignore encore que, pendant qu’elle traque River, celui-ci la traque elle aussi.
