ROCKS FALL, EVERYONE DIES

Lindsay Ribar

A new paranormal suspense novel about a boy who can reach inside other people and steal their innermost things—fears, memories, scars, even love—and his family’s secret ritual that has for centuries kept the cliff above their small town from collapsing.
Aspen Quick has never really worried about how he’s affecting people when he steals from them. He might steal someone’s sobriety so he can drive home after a party, or he might snatch away his crush’s love for another guy. But this summer he’ll discover just how strong the Quick family magic is—and how far they’ll go to keep their secrets safe. With a smart and arrogant protagonist, a sinister family tradition, and an ending you won’t see coming, Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies is a fast-paced, twisty story about power, addiction, and deciding what kind of person you want to be in a family that has the ability to control everything you are. Lindsay Ribar is an associate literary agent by day and a concert fanatic by night. She currently lives in New York City, where she shares her apartment with far too many CDs.

[B]reathtaking storytelling. This is a fast-paced paranormal mystery with an unusual magic system.

Refreshingly poignant. A surprisingly deep fantasy nicely grounded in reality.

The mind games are acrobatic in their twists and turns.

[An] unnerving tale of supernatural suspense… Ribar sets up an intriguing premise and explores Aspen's abilities in provocative ways.

The novel’s complex characters and family drama pull readers in from the first page. Ribar balances weighty moral dilemmas with the unusual adventures of a teen who has the power to manipulate those around him... Fast-paced and unpredictable, the plot seamlessly balances a summer romance with well-crafted paranormal suspense. A fresh and substantive story about family, love, and deciding who you want to be in the world. Read more...

Pitch perfect from the title to the end, I couldn't put Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies down! The characters shine in this brilliant page-turner with a supernatural twist.

A novel that balances fantasy with realism.... Quick and entertaining; the characters (some of whom learn their lessons) are can’t-look-away wicked in an all-too-human way.
