Charlie is a teenager who had a brush with death and now he can see and communicate with ghosts. He thinks he knows everything about the world beyond until he meets Sam, who is another seer. Then one of his ghostie friends goes missing, and then another… suddenly Charlie realizes that there is a lot about the world he doesn’t know. But he better figure it out fast before more of his friends are targeted.
This one has harrowing ghosties with a plot to resurrect themselves, great disability and queer rep as well as characters who you so badly want to root for. It’s a quick read with non-stop action and so many moments that make you want to cheer. The ghosties are all from different periods in history which means you learn a little. And there’s quite a bit of York lingo which is fun to learn as well. Read this one if you liked The Library of the Dead or The Ballad of Perilous Graves.
I’ve been following Rosie on instagram for a while and was excited when she announced her book deal. I’m making it one of my goals this year to read books by my bookstagram friends. I have quite a few on my list but feel free to shout up if you want to be on that list!
What’s the last book you bought after seeing it on bookstagram / TikTok?
