Sixteen Souls

Sixteen Souls, Book 1

De: Rosie Talbot

Narrado por: Joe Pitts

The spooky, swoony YA debut by BookTok star Rosie Talbot (@Merrowchild) -- the "TikTok Made Me Buy It" sensation dubbed Heartstoppers with ghosts! Perfect for fans of V. E. Schwab and Aiden Thomas.

Sixteen-year-old Charlie Frith has problems. His crush is dating someone else, his sisters have glitter-bombed his prosthesis (again), and he's a seer-of-spirits in York, the most haunted city in England, and all his friends are ghosts.

To make matters worse, it seems that famous spirits are mysteriously vanishing from York's haunted streets and alleys. Charlie is determined to stay out of it, but Sam, the irritating new seer in town, expects him to track down who -- or what -- is responsible and uncover the dark purpose behind these disappearances.

But when one of Charlie's ghostly friends vanishes, he has no choice but to face the shadows -- and his growing feelings for Sam. The boys must be willing to risk it all to save York's spirits, because this adversary will stop at nothing to complete their devastating plan. Afterlives are at stake, and Charlie is running out of time....

**WARNING** this is NOT a GAY teen Romance!!!!!!

SO i dont care how pc you want to be, but theres a reason why GAY men and boys like other GAY men and boys, and you can state your whatever sex you want, but trans people lack the KEY part of why gay men are attracted to other men.......no matter what you say you are! theres a KEY factor that MUST be met, and physically Sam is female, if Charlie is actually gay than he wouldn't be with Charlie, especially as a teen male, with hormones, REALITY puts this as a STRAIGHT romance, i repeat this book is NOT boy falls in love with boy, this book is PHYSICALLY ABLE BOY FALLS IN LOVE WITH A PHYSICAL GIRL. Who identifys as a MAN but physically is NOT a man..... THIS IS NOT A GAY OR MM TEAN ROMANCE, this is a straight romance, and honestly ill be getting my money back, because charlie is obviously into women physically, the MAIN romance is not between two teen boys!
audible needs to make a seperate catigory for TRANS romance, because this is NOT a gay teen paranormal romnce!!!its quite litterally a huge BAIT AND SWITCH, and as a gay man, this makes me very angry that audible would do this bait and switch, if i wanted a TRANS romance id look for it, i was looking for two guys with ALL the same body parts. and NO where in the description does it say its a TRANS romance!
