Bonesmith

There had been no question of going on without her. No question of leaving her behind
4.75 stars
I love it when the enemies to lovers starts off where one of them, or both of them, tries to kill each other - anything less is just rivals, not enemies and it doesn’t hit that top-tier trope feeling for me. 😂
They were linked by magic, not love. Duty, not affection.
Okay, this book was really great! There were twists and turns, reveals and betrayals that kept my head spinning and my mind whirling.
Wren’s character development, from bratty, entitled heir, to brave, loyal, and determined warrior was a nice thing to watch. She stopped putting her selfish needs above the greater good and focused instead on the, well, the greater good.
"We make a good team.”
“A good team?” Wren repeated, arching an eyebrow. “I thought you said we were a ‘bad idea’?”
“Aren’t we?” he said, meeting her gaze.
Wren shrugged, going for indifference. “Maybe I like bad ideas.”
Julian was the perfect combination of traits for me. I love a good hard-shelled, can-defeat-anything, braver-than-anyone character, but I also love the ones who are afraid. The killers with fears. Jullians fear, in this case, were ghosts. Not a great thing to be afraid of when the land is crawling with ghosts, but at least he's honest😂
She met Julian’s wide, startled eyes. She shook her head. “Never run.”
It did get creepy at some points, as one would expect from a story where some people can control bones and some can control ghosts. Anyway, Julian’s healthy fear of the revenants, the tier 5 ghosts that can inhabit their bodies and move around in them (zombie-like), was refreshing.
“I think that went well,” Leo said brightly. “For me, anyway.”
Leo was a stereotypical dumb blonde until you realized there was nothing dumb about his mind. Boy had no self-preservation, that was obvious 😂
Her father, Odile, the Knights, the Regent, The Queen, all of the plot twists and reveals means I need book 2 please and thank you.
Right now.
Please.
Thank you so much to the author and Simon and Schuster Canada for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review!
