Of Earthly Delights

Ages 14 to 18

From New York Times bestselling author Goldy Moldavsky comes a deliciously twisty YA gothic horror about an ill-fated romance and a lush, vengeful garden.

Aspiring artist Rose Pauly is not happy about moving from her home in New York City right before her senior year in high school. But on her first miserable day in Connecticut she meets Hart, an alluring, enigmatic boy with whom she feels an intense connection. Hart introduces Rose to his family's secret slice of paradise --Hemlock Hill --an estate renowned as the most beautiful property in the state, and the site of an immense private botanical garden shrouded in mystery.

Rose and Hart spend a fever dream of a summer in the garden, and their bond blossoms into love. But despite their undeniable feelings, Rose can't shake the sense that all is not as it seems.

Hart's twin sister, Heather, seems to hate her. There is something uncanny about Hemlock Hill and its effect on people. When Rose uncovers the truth about the garden and the power it grants to Hart's family, she's forced to question how genuine her love story truly is. But Hart can't bear to lose Rose, and he will stop at nothing to save their relationship.

With a lush gothic setting, a love for the ages, and questions about beauty, power, and the brutality of nature, this is a darkly romantic tale that will keep readers up at night.
