Another book review!? Yes! Today I have another book review for you all and it is going to be a good one! So this novel was one of the galleys that my mom got for me at BEA. (Book Expo America) Just a warning is that this novel does not come out until September 23. But you can always pre-order it if you are interested. The novel is called Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs.
Now I will give you a little background about why I read this book. When I was in 6th grade, my Biology teacher put on the show Bones for us to watch. And from that day to 10th grade, I wanted to be a forensic anthropologist. Now to this day I love forensics, I think it is super fascinating but I am just not good at biology. Anyways, the show Bones was based off of Kathy Reichs and her life as a forensic anthropologist. Now a forensic anthropologist is someone who studies human bones and figures out what happened to that person. How they died, if they were murdered, did they have any health problems, stuff like that. So fascinating! So I have read a couple of Kathy Reichs books and all of them are really interesting and intense.
Now apparently there is a another novel before this called Monday Mourning. Now I did not read this novel and I was not confused or lost while reading Bones never Lie. If you want to read Monday Mourning before you read Bones Never Lie, go for it but you do not have too.
Summary:
This is a novel about Temperance Brennan and how she helps solve six cold case murders. Now all of the victims are girls ranging from 11-16 years old. They all have the same MO. Now, in the beginning we find out who the murder is, Anique Pomerleau. Now throughout the novel it is how Tempe and her partner, Ryan track down the murder and try to stop her from murdering any more young girls. There is so much more that I want to tell you but I cannot because then I would ruin what happens!
My Opinion:
Oh my! This was an intense book. Now I normally like reading books at night but it came to the point where everyone was sleeping and I got so scared of what would happen that I had to put the novel down. It is not that scary but it got super intense at some scenes because Tempe and Ryan were getting so close to the killer and figuring out what happened to those girls. Overall, I really liked this novel. I think it is one of my favorites novels by Kathy Reichs. I just thought the whole plot was interesting and engaging. I did not feel confused. Also, I love the protagonist. I think Tempe is such an interesting protagonist because she solves these crimes but yet you feel the struggle she has for not knowing what happened to these murdered girls until the very end. Some novels make the protagonist seem to perfect and not realistic but Tempe is so realistic and such a good role model. You do not read about those types of protagonists to much. But I am warning you that there is some pretty graphic scenes, not sex scenes but the murder scenes. If you cannot handle that, do not read this. But if you love crime, mystery, suspense, definitely check this novel out. It is amazing.
I hope you all enjoyed this book review! I love reading and I am so happy I finally have time to sit down and read. If there are any books, you all think I should read, please let me know! I hope you have a wonderful day/night!
Carpe Diem,
Sophia
