Here we are again. So a brand new month brings a brand new book and review. This review is a bit later than I expected it too be. By the way, I hope everyone is happy and healthy as there are a lot of germs going around this time of the year. Anyone got any good plans coming up over the next couple or even over Christmas? Right, back to this blog post. This review is all about, Devil Bones which is written by Kathy Reichs.
If your new around here, then welcome to my book blog. Let me tell you a bit about why I like to write thes blogs, I've always liked reading, you could call me a massive bookworm. But when you find out that not many young people are reDing enough it hurts. So my aim is too spread the books I read so that they reach other people. I hope these people will then pick up more books and spend less time on their phones. I want the younger generation to start reading again.
Next in my book blog post is to tell you a bit more about the book because how would you know if you like the sound of it. My information is taken from the back of the book also known as the blurb. Well here you go, "An underground chamber is exposed in a seedy, dilapidated house. In the the dark cellar, a ritualistic display is revealed: a human skull rests on a cauldron, surrounded by slain chickens and bizarre figurines." "Called to the scene is forensic anthropologist, Dr Temperance Brennan. She determines that the skull is that of a young, female. But how and when did she die? Just as Tempe is closing in on answers, another body is discovered: a headless corpse carved with Satanic symbols." "As local vigilantes begin a witch-hunt, Tempe struggles to contain her emotions. But the eventual truth proves more shocking than even she could have imagined." Sorry that's all you getting, remember no spoilers. I just hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
I'm sorry to say. but the boring part of my blog is next. Time to introduce the author of this book, to you the lovely readers of this book. I know some of you skip this part. That's fine I give you my permission to do that. But by all means if you do enjoy this part of the blog post. Then carry on reading it. Anyway here is that vital information that you want. Kathy Reichs has many to her name including Bones of the Lost, Bones are Forever and 206 Bones. Kathy Reichs is one of only eighty-two forensic anthropologists ever certified by the American Board of Forensic Anthropology. Kathy Reichs is a native of Chicago, where she received her Ph.D. Kathy now spends most of her time between Charlotte, North Carolina and Montreal, Québec.
Some of you may be thinking, How come you picked this book to read? Well I have read many other Kathy Reichs books in the past so I thought I may as well give this one a go. But I wasn't too sure at first about the mention of Devils, witch hunts and Satanic Symbols. But it wasn't that bad. At first I found myself putting the book down for a few hours or sometimes I forgot I was reading it altogether. But after some important answers got revealed. I couldn't put the book down. I was reading each page as fast as my eyes would let me. As I wanted to solve the mystery just as quick as the characters in the book were trying too. What I love about Kathy Reichs books is that she uses all the terms a forensic anthropologist should use which means you are learning new words but she also fully explains what they mean to the reader just in case they don't understand. In the end, I wasn't expecting the ending that I read. I can't wait to read more of her books.
Overall, I would give this book a 8/10. I would totally recommend this book to the audience of 18 and above, also to anyone who loves a good crime fiction novel in that age range.
