When Teancum Leon’s ex-lover confesses to murder, Tean doesn’t believe it. Sure, Ammon has a dark side, but he’s not capable of killing someone.
Except Tean seems to be the only one who feels this way. Tean’s boyfriend, Jem, is more than willing to take Ammon’s word for it. The police are thrilled to bring the official investigation to a close. And Ammon’s wife, Lucy, is afraid of what he might have done in a fit of rage.
With the police no longer looking for answers, it’s up to Tean and Jem to find the truth. Their investigation leads them to more victims—and to the realization that a serial killer is at work, and he’s targeting gay men.
But someone else is stirring on the high steppe. Someone even more dangerous. Someone who has been content, until now, to watch. And wait.
Until Tean and Jem wake them up.
The Same Bones begins a follow-up series and should not be read as a standalone. Jem and Tean’s story starts in The Lamb and the Lion book one, The Same Breath.
I'm a long-time Midwesterner. I've lived in Chicago, Bloomington (IN), and Saint Louis, my current home. Aside from reading and writing (which take up a lot of my time), I'm an educator.
While I enjoy reading across many genres, my two main loves are mystery and speculative fiction. I used to keep a list of favorite books, but it changes so frequently that I've given up. I'm always looking for recommendations, though, so please drop me a line if you have something in mind!
My big goal right now is one day to be responsible enough to get a dog.
Beep beep boop, Jem & Tean are back! (So is a familiar, unwelcome face according to the blurb, but I’ll try my best to forget about them for the time being 😂) A long-awaited follow-up to the final events of The Same End, and the bridge between their first arc and Iron on Iron is on the horizon. I cannot contain my excitement for being launched back into the throes of existential contemplation with the two softest characters known to man.
