“Better Must Come” by Desmond Hall

“Better Must Come” is a fast-paced YA thriller, about two Jamaican teens caught up in the world outside the tourist industry

To truly pull off an action-packed thriller with a razor sharp timeline is a skill, which is why we were so intrigued by the plot of Jamaican American author Desmond Hall’s sophomore novel when it recently landed on our desks.

Released in early June by Atheneum/Caitlyn Dlouhy Books, “Better Must Come” is a true YA thriller that tells the story of Deja and Gabriel, two Jamaican teens on two very different paths who are shaken when their lives suddenly intersect.
