I love picking up books for review and discovering a diamond in the midst of all of the sparkly gems that are out there. This book is definitely a diamond!
I have been holding onto this review and to be honest I don’t know why really. The only thing I can come up with is that this book really captured my attention from the very first page and I truly didn’t know how to write this review. But I’m going to try.
The Dark Bones by Loreth Anne White
Publisher: Montlake Romance (May 21, 2019)
ISBN-13: 978-1542091541
ABOUT:
She’s come back to solve the mystery of her father’s death and confront her own dark past.
When Detective Rebecca North left her rural hometown, she vowed never to return. Her father’s apparent suicide has changed that. The official report is that retired cop Noah North shot himself, knocked over a lantern, and set his isolated cabin ablaze. But Rebecca cannot believe he killed himself.
To prove it, she needs the help of Ash Haugen, the man she left behind. But Rebecca and Ash share more than broken hearts. Something darker lies between them, and the investigation is stirring it back to life. Clues lead them to the home of Olivia West and her deeply troubled twelve-year-old daughter, Tori. The child knows more about the murder than anyone can imagine, but she’s too terrified to say a word.
And as a cold-blooded killer resurfaces from the past, Rebecca and Ash begin to fear that their own secrets may be even harder to survive.
The Dark Bones by Loreth Anne White Review
This is the first time I have read this author and she grabbed me from the very beginning. It’s difficult to describe an artists work. And that’s what I think of her writing skills. She is an artist.
White doesn’t just type words into a paragraph. She literally paints the picture in your mind and it seems like you are right there In the midst of the icy cold trying to solve the case.
The Dark Bones throws so many emotions at you. It is a combination of suspense, thriller, second chance romance, mystery, and a damn good fiction book.
Trying to capture my feelings is difficult because they are all over the place. One thing that I do know is that this book was one of the best I have read this year and it is truly an grossing read. I could not put it down nor did I want to.
While this book is part of a series of sorts, I really did not feel I was missing anything from the previous plot(s). But I do know that I am definitely going back and grab more books from this author.
She writes in such a captivating manner, I can’t wait to get my hands on more stories from her. Run, don’t walk, to your nearest book seller and grab this book! You will love it too. I know it!
