Kathryn doesn’t draw anymore. She used to, before the therapist she never wanted, before the Black Dahlia appeared in her sketchbook—pressed flat, delicate, and terrifyingly unfamiliar. Now every time she tries to create, her hand moves without permission, sketching scenes tied to the flower, to memories she was never meant to remember. Her foster family calls it trauma. She calls it silence. Miles has moved again. Another town, another house, another attempt to blend in without being seen. But this year, he’s done hiding. With school starting Monday, he makes a decision—to throw a party that weekend, to finally be liked. The plan seems simple… until it isn’t. Because something is wrong with this house. With time. With him. Every time he wakes up, he feels one day closer to an unforgettable night. Unbeknownst to them both, Kathryn and Miles are connected by more than proximity. A haunting exploration of trauma, identity, and the quiet brutality of survival, Bloom in Silence is a psychological thriller that whispers before it screams.
