When the Bones Sing is a delightful YA paranormal tale. The world-building is well done, and both Dovie and Lo come across as well-developed characters who grow throughout the story. It was a fairly simple and easy read, but it was entertaining, and I didn't guess the true culprit behind the killings until close to the reveal, which shows the mystery was well-structured. The paranormal elements added depth without overshadowing the human interactions and emotions. I would certainly pick up other books by this author in the future. I am giving it a solid four stars.

This was sooooo good. I loved the story, the world building and meeting the different characters. I felt completely immersed in the story and couldn't stop reading it.

Thank you to Penguin Teen for my arc!

Welp first 2025 release out of the way and like I expected it was fantastic. If you have not picked up any Ginny Myers Sain books what are you doing? They’re fantastic YA thrillers perfect to read during summer and When the Bones Sing was no different. It has a super eerie atmosphere, the friends to lovers romance, missing parent. I loved every minute.

Highly reccomend!
