I'm a mix of emotions after finishing Northranger by Ray Terciero and Ben Indigo. This book is beautiful.
We delve into the lives of Cade and Henry as they deal with their emotions and feelings towards each other. There's mystery and intruige but it seems that it is the mystery side of things that comes between Cade and Henry. What secrets are being hidden by Henry's family?
The emotions that were unravelled throughout this book was a mix of heartache and happiness. Having that feeling that you must remain hidden by hiding your true self was such a delicate subject that I feel was really well done in this book.
Also, the illustrations throughout this book were beautiful and so nicely done. Everything was clear in regards to motions, emotions, etc. A job very well done!
5 star read!!

Thank you to @harperalley @harper360uk @thirdrex @ndgoarts for sending this Advanced Copy across. I LOVED sitting outside in the sunshine with this graphic novel over the Easter holidays. āļø
Described as a spooky and swoony queer teen romance, I started this as soon as it came through my door š
Set on a Texas ranch, Cade finds himself falling for the ranch owners mysterious son. A big fan of horror movies, Cade discovers there may be spooky secrets surrounding his handsome crush. š»
Firstly, I adored the illustration style. The colours were beautiful. It blended itself well with the spooky atmosphere and also the age range of the characters/readers. šļø
TW: this story tackles mental health, grief, racism and homophobia - but all handled delicately and adding to the character development. I loved the primary focus on family and self acceptance as well as first love. š„°
Iām so happy there are books like this widely available to teens now. As an adult, Iām not sure the spookiness was explored or used as well as Iād hoped - but it might be just right for the target audience. The romance side - spot on! The ranch setting - spot on! The cute summer romance - spot on! š
