Your Blood, My Bones

De: Kelly Andrew

Narrado por: Jesse Vilinsky, Pete Cross, Matthew Frow

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.

Captivating

I was entranced with every scene. The narrators did phenomally in bringing the scenes to life. I will be listening to this again.

Stunning

Words aren’t enough to describe how much I adore this book the pacing, the horror elements, the narration choices, all of it is so spectacular and well done!!! I wish I could give it more than just five stars across the board!

I wanted to love it!

I really wanted to love this! I just couldn’t really keep up. I restarted it 3 times. Maybe if I had read it on my kindle it would have been better but there wasn’t a distinct switch to flashbacks for me and the characters were confusing. That being said, It could have just been me! So maybe I’ll give another try at a later date and come back!

dark, romantic, pretty

a lovely tell of first love and what it means to be friends. mix in some cosmic horror and you've got a good setting for a dark romance!

I just have some questions. maybe it's details I missed or not. might have to do a relisten to understand.

Interesting Read

The storytelling was enchanting, a haunted forest filled with danger, and monsters were intriguing. I was curious at what it was, why it was, and how.
As I listened it became a twisted dark Peter Pan version, that I didn’t expect, so that was fun.
The theme is heavy, and could be disturbing to some; ritualistic child sacrifice that isn’t graphic.
The story has multiple POV, but mainly narrated by the main female character Wyatt.
I liked Wyatt’s innocent naive personality, though at times she did become annoyingly childlike. I enjoyed her optimism, and forgiving nature, but did become frustrated with her lack of urgency, and confidence.
Peter was a heartbreakingly enigma character, I really enjoyed his personality, how despite everything he’s experienced his spirit was never truly broken.
James was an amusing one who I also liked, his personality a perfect contrast to the others that brought on a sarcastic snarky fun, though his counterpart was infuriatingly cruel.
The voice performances were great, I appreciated the their voice changes during the reading.

Voice

The people that read the book were amazing. And made this so much better for me. Thank you.

An Outstanding story ..

This is a story that stayed with me long after I lesson to it and one that made me cry at the ending as if I lost a family member. The characters had such a great death to them. When I first started this book, I thought it was just going to another fancy story, but it was not. I begin to feel for these characters and wanting the best outcome but sometime to show your love for someone you have to sacrifice yourself. I can't wait to lesson to the next book by this author your newest fan ..

Book Review: Your Blood, My Bones by Kelly Andrew

Kelly Andrew returns with a hauntingly beautiful and deeply atmospheric tale in Your Blood, My Bones—a dark, lyrical masterpiece that intertwines gothic horror, small-town secrets, and an achingly tender love story.

The novel follows Wyatt Westbrook, a boy plagued by supernatural abilities and a haunted past, who returns to his mysterious hometown after years in exile. What begins as a simple homecoming quickly spirals into a nightmarish unraveling of hidden family curses, rituals drenched in blood, and a love that refuses to die. Andrew’s writing is spellbinding—poetic without ever losing momentum, immersive without sacrificing clarity.

What makes Your Blood, My Bones so unforgettable is its emotional depth. Wyatt’s inner torment, his connection to the eerie forest that looms over the town, and his slow-burning romance with the enigmatic Peter are all layered with grief, longing, and resilience. The magic in this story isn’t just in the supernatural—though there’s plenty of that—it’s in how Andrew captures the brokenness of her characters and lets them find strength in their vulnerability.

The pacing is sharp, the mystery is suspenseful, and the horror elements are rich with folklore and dread. But at its heart, Your Blood, My Bones is about what we inherit—love, pain, magic—and what we choose to become despite it.

Verdict:
Dark, emotional, and stunningly written, Your Blood, My Bones is a gothic triumph. Perfect for fans of The Raven Cycle and The Secret History, this book will seep into your bones and stay with you long after the last page.

Blood and Bones

I wanted to like this story, but Wyatt really got on my nerves.
She is too stubborn and naive. Eventually I had to skip through her parts and just get to Pedyr.
I wouldn't recommend this audible to anyone.
