Book Summary:

Wyatt Westlock is the last of her line. For the most part, that’s never felt like a big deal. It meant she got to spend her summers at the family farmhouse, enjoying her time with her two best friends.

Until the day everything changed. Something horrible happened, resulting in Wyatt getting banished from her own home. Decades later, she’s back, and she wants to burn the place to the ground. But something’s stopping her.

My Review:

Apparently, 2024 was the year for blindsiding me with novels connected to worlds I loved. Your Blood, My Bones shares the same world as The Whispering Dark. Maybe I just missed the memo, but I was not expecting that (not that I’m complaining).

Your Blood, My Bones is split into two primary perspectives - Wyatt and Peter. The two couldn’t be more different if they tried. It’s a bit of an opposites attract romance, but in a twisted and dark way.

Where Wyatt is the fumbling yet powerful character, Peter is the tortured soul. If readers enjoy those tropes, be sure to check out Kelly Andrew’s latest novel! The story also has dark secrets, twisted revelations, and a few surprise cameos.

Admittedly, I don’t think I loved Your Blood, My Bones the way I cherished The Whispering Dark, though it’s still a solid read. It just didn’t sweep me off my feet. I think it was something about how the story unfolded, but I’m not certain.

Now I’m left wondering - will there be another addition to the world, or is this surprise release (to me, at least) the conclusion?

Highlights:
Paranormal Fantasy
Loyalty & Magic
Twisted Romance
Same world as The Whispering Dark

Trigger Warnings:
Graphic Injuries/Trauma
Animal Death
