Your Blood, My Bones by Kelly Andrew
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I loved this book even though it was NOT a happy read (which is what I normally read).
What I loved:
*the less than perfect characters who toed the line between good and evil despite their good intentions.
*the love/hate relationship between the three main characters.
*the writing (such poetic writing fully satisfied and awed my love for words).
*the atmospheric setting and plot reminded me a little of The Shining (the book not the movie).
*the chickens (don’t ask me why I loved the chickens so much. I don’t even like chickens).
A couple things that I didn’t like so much:
*the ending (even though I agree it was the only plausible ending to this story but it still stings).
*I wasn’t crazy about their short foray into the “real world”. It just felt anticlimactic, I guess even though I did love her friends and the humor. It just didn’t jive with the rest of the book for me, I guess).
*The ending (oh did I mention that already?).
Spooky, extremely well written, and unputdownable (it’s a word). Highly recommend it.
