   “With a sinister series name (The Chemical Garden Trilogy), an ominous title
  (Wither), and a gorgeous cover (can’t stop looking at it), expectations will
  be high. Luckily author Lauren DeStefano’s writing clears the bar with ease.
  Wither strikes a delicate balance between creepy and elegant, shocking and
  romantic, dreadful and rewarding, and delivers unexpected twists around every
  disturbing corner of Rhine’s mansion prison. It’ll leave you horrified,
  mystified, and longing for book two.”
