Twelve Bones

More about the book

Prepare for more spooky, swoony YA from BookTok star @Merrowchild! Seventeen-year-old seer Charlie and his boyfriend, Sam, know the dead can't hurt the living; it's the ghosts who need protection from dangerous soul catchers. They've vowed to keep them safe, but when a powerful force disrupts their defenses and a brutal attack shakes their beliefs, they realize the stakes are higher than they imagined. A vengeful occultist is on the loose, bodies are piling up, and everyone Charlie loves is in danger. As the mystery unfolds, Charlie and Sam find themselves fighting for more than just their lives. This thrilling and heart-wrenching novel follows the author of Sixteen Souls, an instant YA bestseller celebrated by BookTok as "Heartstopper with Ghosts." Praise for Sixteen Souls includes accolades for its fun and frights, flawless twists, and captivating exploration of loss, friendship, and love. Readers have described it as a cleverly heartfelt queer tale featuring a sensitive young man who sees dead people. With rich writing and sharply drawn characters, this story promises to be a chillingly delightful addition to any ghoul-lover's shelf.
