Silent Pen by Vicki-Ann Bush: Release day for Alex McKenna & The Geranium Deaths

Alex McKenna Amazon Review

5.0 out of 5 starsWell written on many levels September 24, 2019 Format: Kindle Edition There is so much I like about this book. I love the paranormal aspect. Ghosts, witches (and they're Strega!!), demon spirits, I love them all, so I was really into the whole premise of this book; a psychic teen with witchy powers communicates with the dead and saves lives. How can you go wrong? But what really sets this book apart is the main character, Alex. Alex is a teen, but he's also a trans male, and I do believe this is the first time I've read a YA book in which the trans aspect of the MC is secondary. I love how the book handles Alex as a typical teen high schooler, just trying to make it by, doing his homework, hanging with his girlfriend, and, oh by the way, killing some evil spirits. The trans part of Alex is sprinkled in very organically, like it's no biggie (just like how it should be in real life). Alex's character is treated as a typical boy, because he IS a typical boy, who just also happens to be trans. And that's what makes this book so special in my opinion. Also, there was some kick butt paranormal stuff, too.
