Rosie Talbot: Sixteen Souls (2023, Scholastic, Incorporated)

A Fun Spooky YA Adventure Romance

Charles now uses prosthetic legs after losing his legs and nearly his life from illness as a child. He also can now see ghosts. So can Sam, a ~~cute~~ frustrating boy who tries to get close to him, looking for help finding missing ghosts.

This is a fun adventure. It telegraphs most of its twists, so there were few surprises, outside of some details. It’s a wonderful book for teens (and adults) who love spooky stories with cute boys solving mysteries. I’m looking forward to continuing the series after a fluffy romcom to cleanse the palate.

CW: Death, murder, violence, self-harm, minor transphobia, mental health, medical, supernatural. Some graphic descriptions of deaths prior to and during the narrative.
