If you are looking for a new YA thriller/murder mystery with Queer rep and Deaf rep, Secrets Don’t Stay Buried by @jdmillswrites.com needs to be on your list! I loved the plot and the twists. The characters were all interesting. And seeing Deaf rep for a main character was eye opening. #booksky

These tropes include Deaf and queer representation, sapphic & bisexual first love, killer blackmail, blood-curdling revenge, BIPOC characters, American Sign Language, creepy texts, and a coming-of-age story set at a college for the Deaf. The background is textured like crumpled paper.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hkujc5sqrxdovljbstdoimed/bafkreidedwq2w2uc35ohp3osp2b6yq4ecye75bfvafapmicbyhq5zsrmni)
