Description
The spooky, swoony YA debut from BookTok star @Merrowchild!
Someone is stripping Europe s most haunted city of its spirits. When self-destructive, 16-year-old seer, Charlie Frith, realises that one of his own ghostly friends has gone missing, he must put aside his own safety - and reclusive existence - if he is to find them.
Charlie reluctantly teams up with Sam Harrow - the new seer in town - and a rag-tag group of ghosts, to save their friends from a fate literally worse than death.
But there is a dark purpose behind these disappearances - more sinister than Charlie could ever have imagined. And, as he slowly comes to terms with his romantic feelings for Sam, the stakes become even higher as time quickly runs out!
Perfect for fans of Cemetery Boys, Becky Albertalli and V E Schwab.
#SixteenSouls has more than a-quarter-of-a-million views on TikTok and counting.
A must-read for all young adult fans with intricately plotted mystery, sublime world-building and fantastically diverse cast of characters.
