All The Murmuring Bones by A. G. Slatter

Miren O’Malley is a young girl living in an isolated, mysterious town of Breakwater. Once her family passes away, she travels to find answers about her parents who abandoned her as a child.

Only When It’s Us by Chloe Liese

I needed something rather light and relaxed and this was it. Plus, the book had representation too. the male protagonist is partially deaf and yet the story remains so beautiful. I’ve not written a blog in such a long while I honestly feel like what is even the point of paying a bomb to maintain…
