Haunting, atmospheric, and full of Southern gothic magic, WHEN THE BONES SING is a chilling YA mystery perfect for fans of The Taking of Jake Livingston, The Raven Boys, and Rules for Vanishing.
For three years, the tiny Ozark town of Lucifer’s Creek has been gripped by fear. Hikers vanish without a trace… only to be found later, buried deep in the hills. Seventeen-year-old Dovie doesn’t believe in monsters - even though she comes from a long line of women who can hear the bones of the dead “sing,” calling her to help uncover the truth.
To Dovie, her ability is just a way to give families closure. But for her best friend Lo, peace is out of reach - because the shadows following him aren’t just shadows. They’re the restless spirits of the missing hikers, desperate for answers.
As the haunting grows stronger, Lo and Dovie team up to uncover what’s hiding in the forests around Aux Arc Trail. But the truth behind the disappearances is buried deeper than either of them imagined… and someone - or something - is determined to keep it hidden.
