Book Divas (227 KP) rated Skin and Bones (The Ever Chace Chronicles, #1) in Books

Dec 12, 2017 (Updated Dec 12, 2017)  
This is a really good paranormal read full of action and many twists and turns. A great beginning for a new series.

"Not a new book by any measure, but I rediscovered it this year. I can't get through it—not once—without crying real tears, and I take that as a cue that love is a force, not just a feeling. This is a beautiful book that will break your heart and give you hope at the same time."

I have read a numerous of books this year. Books I have either read all the way to the end, or admittedly, not.

I have to be honest, had I saw this book in a store, I probably wouldn't have picked it up.

This, is by no means, to say I wouldn't like it. When I go into a book store I tend to know what I am looking for; history, art, architecture, poetry, film writing...
Anything that would inspire me in my current project of writing.

As it were, my ma' grabbed this book-amongst many others-and I took a shine to this book immediately. If someone asks me what sort of books do you like, I cannot give specific responses because I don't particular have a favourite theme/genre. Although I do not tend to read; Si-Fi, Horror, Adventure, or any sort of magical/mythical books, as one may place Harry Potter into?
So, when I read the back of this book, I was very intrigued.
It left you with...how does this person know that, and why?

I am, as many people know, a slow reader. If I rush a book I do not fully understand what took place, or the certain details you may need to remember. However, with this book, I looked forward to bed time, when I can jump into my bed, get all cosy on these incoming cool nights and read this book.

All the characters, baring one, I took a shine to.

This is a fast-paced suspense thriller that leaves you wanting to know more and more.

My favourite book of the year, without a doubt.

I will sure be looking for more of Mary Kubica's books

Was for a younger audience (0 more)
This book was enjoyable but definitely for a different audience. I felt like the way it was written, the actual story line and the main characters in the book it was probably aimed at teenagers.
When I read the blurb it seemed like a book I would normally read and it was a mystery but as I mentioned it was for a younger audience. So I would recommend the book to the audience it was aimed at. It was an easy reading book.
I still got into the book as I kept guessing who the perpetrator was and therefore it did turn into a page turner for me.
I learnt more about the characters as the book went on and my thoughts on them changed.
This book was part of a series and the only reason I didn't read the other books in the story was because it was bit too young for me.
I like more adult crime/mystery books.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only.

The lives the character lived are interesting (0 more)
It got a bit boring (0 more)
This book started off well and I really enjoyed it until the 2 characters got together. It was ok at first but then the book got a boring. It seems like it was repeating itself and the book didn't seem to go anywhere after that for quite a few chapters. I stuck with it.
I didn't realise the book was part of a series and I would read the second book but I am a bit worried that the same thing is going to happen in the second book.
The book is not a genre I would normally read but the blurb caught my attention and I am glad I gave it a read.
I found the lives the characters lived interesting.
The story did make me think about things such as deja vu. The things the author wrote did make sense.
The audience I would say if for late teens to late 20's.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only.
