‘Haunting, heartbreaking, and gorgeously atmospheric’ KATE GOLDEN
‘Adrienne Young’s writing is simply magic’ EMILY RATH
Two twins. An unbroken bond. A truth unspoken.
The only thing James and Johnny Golden have ever had is each other. For as long as she can remember, James’s deep connection with her twin brother, Johnny, has gone beyond intuition – she can feel what he feels. So, when Johnny is killed in a tragic accident, James knows before her phone even rings that her brother is gone and that she’s alone – truly alone – for the first time in her life.
When James arrives in the rural town of Hawthorne, California to settle her brother’s affairs, she’s forced to rehash the ominous past she and Johnny shared and finally face Micah, the only person who knows about it. He’s also the only man she’s ever loved.
But James soon discovers that the strange connection she had with Johnny isn’t quite gone, and the more she immerses herself into his world, the more questions she has about the brother she thought she knew. Johnny was keeping secrets, and he’s not the only one.
What she uncovers will push her to unravel what happened in the days before Johnny’s death, but in the end, she’ll have to decide which truths should come to light, and which should stay buried forever.

Haunting, heartbreaking, and gorgeously atmospheric, Adrienne Young has crafted a small-town mystery filled with as many swoon-worthy moments as juicy, unexpected twists. The perfect blend of mystery, magical realism, and magnificent romance
Haunting and lyrical, A Sea of Unspoken Things completely swept me away. Adrienne Young's writing is simply magic
A compulsive blend of lyrical prose and heartbreak, Adrienne Young has done it again. Tattoo worthy lines that will leave their imprint on your heart
Young examines how the past bleeds into the present in her inviting and moody latest . . . Young anchors the story in a strong sense of place, describing how James feels she and Johnny were "forged from the shadows of this forest as creatures that were meant to survive only here." It's a potent tale
