Every TJ Klune book is gold, as far as I'm concerned. 

This one, billed as a "supernatural road-trip thriller," shows Klune's genre range while also featuring his tried-and-true found family troupe. 

Nate only wants to escape to the quiet of his newly- inherited cabin in Oregon to figure out the next steps in his life. But instead, he finds an armed squatter, Alex and his young charge, Artemis. Soon, the three unlikely allies are on the run, and Nate learns that Artemis isn't exactly what she seems. 

In the midst of action-packed chase scenes, we get deep moments of grief, growth, and love. There were wonderful moments of commentary about the harm of blind faith, the dangers of government secrets, and what makes humanity worth saving. 

(And look for a brief cameo mention of Green Creek, from Klune's Wolfsong series) 🐺

I will be buying this one when it releases. Honestly? I'd buy Underwater Basketweaving for Dummies is TJ Klune wrote it. 

I received this ARC from @netgalley and publisher @torbooks. The opinions are my own. 

The Bones Beneath My Skin will be released Feb 4, 2025
