Expected 1 Aug 26Everyone has a monster and theirs are growing louder.
Magdalena Trudeau has perfected lying through crooked hats and unfastened buttons. Smiles hide the thoughts in her head and water isn’t required for drowning. When winter comes swiftly on a three-inch blade and the treatment is a curse, she’s left with nothing but scarred memories and an accused man to help her through.
Dr. Ezra Talbot will never forgive himself for the lives he’s taken—except for one. Borrowed hope won’t be enough to save him from guilt. When his tower of secrets crumbles, will he see it for the staircase it’s become or let it bury the truth?
The tables turn in London when men drop dead with rotten hearts. Their sins in the dark are brought to the light and someone’s taken it upon themselves to right their wrongs. Abusers of the weak won’t be tolerated, and evil learns to fear in this conflicted justice.
There is no antidote for ailments of the mind, and when the gallows swing, Ezra and Magdalena must decide—will this be the end of their journey, or simply the beginning? What if their cure comes to rest in the space between bones?

“Magdalena had the clearest understanding that she knew quite a great deal about loving but very little about how to be loved.”
This book is somehow heart-wrenching and uplifting at the same time. I think it’s even better than the first book in the series and that one was amazing as well! Great representation of autism and depression in such a unique and beautiful story.
If you like Victorian literature, murder mysteries, slow-burn love stories, mental health and neurodivergent experiences, and the history of medicine, this book is for you!
Thank you to the author for sharing an advance ready copy with me. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

The Space Between Bones is a beautifully heartbreaking continuation of the Secrets of Salomé series. It’s no secret that Wednesday Were for Dying holds a large piece of my heart & because of that I have been anticipating the sequel since I read the last page of Wednesdays. I don’t know what I expected out of this story but it really was everything I needed & more. Don’t get me wrong - it will rip your heart right out but I have full confidence that book 3 will put me pack together.
Ezra & Magdalena are still so beautifully broken. Still learning what love is. & still making me laugh. This story gives so much more of each of their back stories - making it easier to see why, in some part, they are the way they are.
This book is full of the slowest burn romance ever, mystery, found family, suspense, & all of the madness. 10/10 will definitely read again.
August, I could tell you poured your heart & soul out for this story & while I wish it didn’t hurt so much I am so thankful for it. God is working through you to share stories of brokenness. His light shines so much brighter in the darkness.
Huge thank you to August, the author of this work of art, for gifting me this ebook 🤎
