Hammers on Bone by Cassandra Khaw
4.25
dark medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I'll admit that the cover is the reason I picked this up. But I'm so glad I did.  This eldritch horror noir just hit quite a few of my favorite elements in books.  I liked the unlikeable characters, the writing was poetic but not too flowery, there was body horror, and it's a novella!  I don't continue a ton of series, but I'll definitely be checking out the next book!
