★★★★★ Uncomfortably Dark and Impossible to Put Down
“This book pulled me in right away with its heavy, eerie vibe and didn't let up for a single second. It takes a brutal, unfiltered look at how grief can completely twist people until they do some truly terrifying things. The creepy setting felt so real that I kept looking over my shoulder, and the whole story just felt unsettling in the best way possible. If you like dark, unpredictable stories that stick with you long after you finish reading, you'll love this one.”
★★★★★ A hidden gem
“I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's a darkly atmospheric story with lots of plot twists I didn't see coming. I loved the setting of Auburn Heights and all its varied characters. It's definitely worth a read!”

Dust & Bones
Dust & Bones is a grim, unflinching descent into grief, violence, and devotion, where justice is uneven, mercy is rare, and home is not always a safe place.
This is not a redemption story.
This is what happens afterward.
