My rating: πππππ stars
Crowbones by Anne Bishop is book eight
in ‘The Others’ Series and boy is it a good one. The book focuses on Vicki
DeVine, a woman who has made a new life for herself and her new business “The
Jumble’ a resort in a territory controlled by the Others. Whilst hosting a
gathering she tells the story about Trickster Night, not knowing that it will
start a series of circumstances that will cost people their lives and throw
Others against humans and leave a trail of devastation in its wake. The book
stories on the folklore of Crowbones, a figure that comes at a certain time and
can be classed as the Others, Bogeyman. When a prank goes horribly wrong, Crows
and humans end up dying, but we find out that there is more going on and Vicki
and others are bang, smack in the middle of it.
I really enjoyed reading about Vicki
and her story, especially as we meet her in previous books and she has come a
long way in building new relationships and becoming a new woman. I enjoyed her
relationship that she has with Grimshaw, Ilya and Julian. I loved the different
point of views that go on as well as the tangled stories of the Others and the
humans. It is definitely beneficial to read the previous books in this series so
that you know who certain characters are and what their roles are within the
community.
This author definitely pulls you into a world that is uniquely different from the one we live in and keeps a hold of you right until the very end. I can’t wait to read more from this author, and she is certainly a one-click author for me. If you like your paranormal books a little it different and a little bit dark, then you need to start this series!
