edit: Hey guys, this is Future Aaradhyaa. Um, I just reread this post and I realized that it may be a tad bit hard to understand. But I didn’t edit it because this is kind what emotion unfiltered is. Right? So I hope you guys like it!

I know it’s been forever since my last post but I’ve been spending the first few days of summer just relaxing. I have not gone to the beach yet but I hope I go soon! I’ve also seen that you guys like my The Reappearance of Rachel Price review. Thank you so much for your support!
So Your Blood, My Bones came out in April. Let’s see what it’s about.
A seductively twisted romance about loyalty, fate, the lengths we go to hide the darkest parts of ourselves . . . and the people who love those parts most of all.
Wyatt Westlock has one plan for the farmhouse she’s just inherited — to burn it to the ground. But during her final walkthrough of her childhood home, she makes a shocking discovery in the basement — Peter, the boy she once considered her best friend, strung up in chains and left for dead.
Unbeknownst to Wyatt, Peter has suffered hundreds of ritualistic deaths on her family’s property. Semi-immortal, Peter never remains dead for long, but he can’t really live, either. Not while he’s bound to the farm, locked in a cycle of grisly deaths and painful rebirths. There’s only one way for him to break free. He needs to end the Westlock line.
He needs to kill Wyatt.
With Wyatt’s parents gone, the spells protecting the property have begun to unravel, and dark, ancient forces gather in the nearby forest. The only way for Wyatt to repair the wards is to work with Peter — the one person who knows how to harness her volatile magic. But how can she trust a boy who’s sworn an oath to destroy her? When the past turns up to haunt them in the most unexpected way, they are forced to rely on one another to survive, or else tear each other apart.
Sounds intriguing! So I start reading and it takes me a while to get through the first few chapters but I persevere and keep reading. It’s interesting, I like it, but it takes a while to understand. But the ending was horrid. I hate that Pedyr/Peter died. I absolutely hated it.
If you love a book but you hate the ending, can you still love a book?
But finding Peter hanging in the basement didn’t seem as if it shocked Wyatt that much. I would be freaking out if I found my childhood best friend hanging in my dad’s basement. I might have tried a little harder to free them. Stuff like this created a person who was an immature child instead of an eighteen-year-old young woman. Worse, the author got in over their heads by giving Wyatt a magic too complex for them to explain in the story. Even finishing the book I still don’t know how the girl’s magic works. Whew! Rant’s over. I think.
We have a Peter/Hook/Wendy (From Peter Pan) dynamic and I was eating it up. There was also a gothic Persephone vibe as well.

Me when I read the ending:
ma’am, HOWDAREYOU
Mrs. Andrew, you can expect my therapy bill in the mail in 3-5 business days
“A marble boy, mired in his own personal mausoleum. Her starved god. Her secret saint. Her killer.”
Your Blood, My Bones was beautiful, tragic, haunting and utterly heart (and gut) wrenching.

Over all I give this book a 3/5 stars. I know most books on this blog, I love. Not exactly this one. It’s just not that emotionally realistic. I don’t know if you know what I mean, but that’s what I’m think. Like, the emotions didn’t feel that real.
To all my romance readers who love their guaranteed HEAs (Happily Ever Afters):
This is not a HEA by any means. Protect your hearts if needed!
