Tamara’s comments from the Authors & Reviewers group.

This story is about the friendships you only make once in a lifetime.
The friendships where you fight monsters together, and it seems no one really pays attention to the town folklore except for the kids.
It's where you face the worst summer of your life… and somehow survive it together.

Set in Nova Scotia, 1997.
Just under 500 pages.
ARCs going out Aug 15–30. Release date Oct 1.

If you love IT x Goonies x Stand by Me x Stranger Things, this is for you.

🖤 Tropes inside:
• Haunted small town vibes

So it’s 1997 in this small town in Nova Scotia. A girl goes missing in the sea caves and comes back three days later. She's barely breathing, near death, and completely traumatized.
Now her friends are starting to see some messed up stuff.
And her boyfriend?
He’s hearing voices.
Specifically one that says: kill her friends, or she dies.

It’s got cursed legends, missing kids, ghost trains, and emotionally unstable boys, and one boy with a switchblade.
Aka, everything I love in a book.

If you're into IT x Goonies x Stand by Me x Stranger Things, you’re gonna be obsessed.

🖤 Tropes included:
• Haunted small town vibes.
• Found family but traumatized
• Childhood trauma, but make it supernatural.
• Morally gray, broken boys
• Girls who fight back.
• The “wait—did that really happen?” type of horror.

It’s just under 500 pages, and I’m sending out ARCs between Aug 15–30.
The book releases Oct 1.

Thank you so much :) I have emailed it to you.

If you love stories that blur the line between dreams and reality, where fear and love tangle in the most unexpected ways... I’ve got something for you.

Skyeholm is a haunting romantic suspense set in Braxton, Ontario where one woman’s recurring dreams lead her straight into a real-life nightmare.

✨ Tropes & vibes you'll find:
✔️ Captor with a hidden heart
✔️ Dream connection / fated bond
✔️ Slow-burn tension
✔️ Unreliable reality
✔️ Emotional, eerie, intense

If you're interested in reading and reviewing, I’d love to send you a free PDF of the book in exchange for an honest review on Amazon and/or Goodreads. If you have KU, it is on there, as well
