Now it's time to focus on being a normal couple - if such a thing exists? But when a new threat lurks in the shadows, this time to the living, and all who Charlie and Sam hold near, they must put everything on the line - including their lives - to work out who is behind it. And even then, it may not be enough! Perfect for fans of Cemetery Boys, Becky Albertalli and V E Schwab. Sixteen Souls was an instant YA bestseller. Dubbed by Book Tok as "Heartstopper with Ghosts".

I enjoyed this much more than the first book in the series. The characters felt like real people and the magic is so cool and unique! I am struggling a bit with the ending. It‘s not at all what I expected and while it‘s hopeful it‘s also messy and sad. Not necessarily a bad thing, just not what I was hoping for. I do enjoy this world and it‘s magic, though.

TheIntrovertedDodoBird I was heartbroken by the end of the sequel. I wasn't quite expecting what happened. I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊. 6mo
GirlNamedJesse @TheIntrovertedDodoBird Okay, I‘m glad to hear you say that, because while I enjoyed the first like 90%, I was totally thrown by the end! It‘s just so SAD! 😭 6mo

I adored Sixteen Souls with every fibre of my being, but (dare I say it?) I loved the sequel even more! Deliriously packed full of adrenaline, edge-of-your-seat, hide-under-your-covers kind of spooky, packed to the gunwales with goosebumpish suspense, the sequel amps up the moral peril as Charlie & Team Spectre battle a vengeful occultist on a killing spree. Tear-jerking & blood-curlingly dark, the elaborate prose & world-building were exquisite.

peanutnine I didn't realize there was a sequel already! I need to bump the first up my TBR 10mo
TheIntrovertedDodoBird @peanutnine Honestly, you won't regret it! These books are incredible! Luckily, I bought both of them at the same time, so I could read the sequel straight after! I can't wait to see what you think of them 👻🪦 10mo
GirlNamedJesse Oh wow, ghosts are my kryptonite! Just put the first one on hold on Libby. Thanks for the recc!! 👻 10mo

TheIntrovertedDodoBird @GirlNamedJesse Right?! I love ghost stories! Ooh, I hope you get your hands on it soon. These books are incredible! Have you tried Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas? If you love all things ghost related, that one is for you too! 👻🪦 10mo
GirlNamedJesse @TheIntrovertedDodoBird Aiden Thomas is my FAVORITE YA author!!! I am checking Edelweiss daily for a Celestial Monsters arc! 😂 Well if it‘s similar to Cemetery Boys I‘m just going to have to buy it rather than wait for it on Libby. 😂 10mo
TheIntrovertedDodoBird @GirlNamedJesse They're one of my favourite YA authors, too!! I keep checking for updates on Instagram about Celestial Monsters!! 😂 I'm obsessed. I loved The Sunbearer Trails sooooooo much (even though my favourite character turned out to be bad... ugh... the betrayal 🤣). Sixteen Souls/Twelve Bones DEFINITELY has the same vibe as Cemetery Boys. I actually bought mine second hand on Vinted. You might find some copies there!! 👻🪦 10mo
GirlNamedJesse @TheIntrovertedDodoBird I started Sixteen Souls last night! I‘m not too far in, but I already love the world. 😍 10mo
TheIntrovertedDodoBird @GirlNamedJesse OMG! Enjoy 👻🪦. Get ready for a spooky adventure! 10mo
