The North Has Roots and Bones
When Adrienne's mother left her and her family when she was a child, she worked for many years to be able to follow her and find out why she left and never came home. Now a young woman, Adrienne moves to Prince George to learn the fate of her missing parent, knowing that the whole story could well end in tragedy, but demanding knowledge anyway.
Simon Brody, still scarred from his own childhood, moves north, outwardly to attend school, but also following a call in his heart that he cannot deny. When he meets Adrienne, he quickly realizes that some things are not so easy to ignore or lay to rest.
From the bowels of downtown to the heights of University Hill, two students strive to seek the truth of a city that holds its secrets close. Immortals stalk the streets, spirits haunt street corners, and angels fall into the rivers. When singing can be heard from the forest, will two mortal youth have the strength to resist its all too familiar call?

Very original and had great depth of the characters! A little slow to get started, but the author really did their homework when it came to the elements that made this story come to life! This READ: Great 🤓

Charlene Mattson knocks it out of the park again! “The North Has Roots and Bones” is the third book in her “Haunting British Columbia” series, but it can be read as a stand-alone. (Naturally, I recommend reading all of them!) Some of the characters from “Inheritance” and “Still Waters Rot” make a reappearance in this supernatural thriller, and I’m very glad to see them again. It’s always fun to revisit Kal and Raven to see what they’re up to. This book has a fun cast of characters- both human and supernatural alike- Eloise, Hayley, Simon and Adrienne each play a big part in this story. As far as the otherworldly creatures, well… let’s just say there are some that might make you lose sleep- but no spoilers from me!
This book has suspense, mystery, and a lot of heart. I highly recommend this novel if you’re looking for a chilling, fast-paced, spooky tale that doesn’t need gore to tell a beautiful, haunting story.
