| Note |
"Trigger Warning: Northranger contains moments of homophobia, misogyny, racism, domestic violence, animal cruelty, and confronting death. I know that sounds like a lot -- 'cause I grew up around all that stuff myself -- so I did my best to handle each moment with care. Though as with any scary movie, make sure you're in a good headspace going in. I want you to enjoy the book, but I want you to take care of yourself first." --Author. |

| Summary |
"Cade Munoz has has always loved to escape into the world of a good horror movie. After all, horror movies are scary, but to Cade--a closeted queer teen growing up in rural Texas--real life can be way scarier. When Cade is sent to spend the summer working as a ranch hand to help earn extra money for his family, he is horrified. Cade hates everything about the ranch, from the early mornings to the mountains of horse poop he has to clean up. The only silver lining is the company of the two teens who live there--in particular, the ruggedly handsome and enigmatic Henry. But as unexpected sparks begin to fly between Cade and Henry, things get complicated. Henry is reluctant to share the mysterious details of several local deaths, and Cade begins to wonder what else he may be hiding." --Back cover. |
