In Alex’s arms, Josiah remembers what it feels like to be human. But Alex isn’t his to love, and the secrets he’s hiding could destroy them both.

Readers are saying: “This book offers a fresh, gripping take on the dystopian genre unlike anything I’ve read before. Dark, suspenseful, and utterly immersive, it had me hooked from the very start.” – Storm In A Teacup ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“It is, on the surface, a simple murder mystery. But it goes so much deeper than that. Crocodile Tears is beautiful and sad; full of love, pain, grief, guilt, hopelessness, and loneliness. It’s a tale of two lost souls, each treading the violent waters of guilt and grief in their own way for their own reasons.” – Cinnamon ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“This water-y, green, world submerged atmosphere gave me such a Ghibli vibe? I kept picturing those big areas of old cities under water, the sky reflecting in them. Loved it.” – Amaryllis ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
