The Strange Things We Keep
Clara Bennett knows how to be normal.
Eli Mercer has never bothered trying.
In the rain-soaked town of Bellwether, Washington, Clara has spent years pretending the impossible things that happen around her are nothing more than coincidence. Lights flicker when she's angry. Plants bloom beneath her hands. Objects sometimes move when no one is touching them.
She has gotten very good at pretending none of it means anything.
Then she catches Bellwether High's resident weird kid doing something impossible too.
Eli has spent years collecting strange books, exploring abandoned places and learning the secrets buried beneath their hometown. Unlike Clara, he knows magic is real.
What he doesn't know is why Clara has it.
Their search for answers draws them into forgotten town records, hidden family histories and an old mystery surrounding two teenagers who disappeared eighteen years ago. The deeper Clara and Eli dig, the clearer one thing becomes:
They were never supposed to find each other.
And whatever has been sleeping beneath Bellwether is beginning to wake.
As friendship turns into something neither of them expected, Clara and Eli must decide which secrets are worth keeping and whether the connection between them belongs to the magic or to them.
Because their families have lied about what happened before.
This time, Bellwether may not survive the truth.
The Strange Things We Keep is an atmospheric YA paranormal romance about first love, hidden magic, family secrets and finding the person who sees the parts of you everyone else has taught you to hide.
