Review 1: The Dark Bones audiobook by shelley

Very good procedural…

This is a well written book and a very good follow up to A Dark Lure (the 1st in the series). Although this is a good series, this book works well as a stand alone.
In this book the protagonist (Olivia West) leaves home twenty years before the events in this story bring her home. As a young woman her boyfriend slept with another, possibly getting her pregnant. It’s been unclear since then what happened to that woman and her boyfriend.
Olivia West’s father (a retired police officer) has been working on cold cases and he thinks he’s into the truth. Before he can tell Olivia, he commits suicide. The problems begin when Olivia comes to town and sees a murder, not a suicide.
If you have kindle unlimited this book is FREE to borrow with the kindle edition.
Emily Sutton-Smith does an outstanding job narrating.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Review 2: The Dark Bones audiobook by Amazon Customer

I don’t get it

Seriously, did I listen to the same book as all the people who gave it great reviews? I hate to write such a bad review but I feel I owe it to the people contemplating buying this book. The narrator sounds like a robot. It’s hardly a mystery or thriller. It’s a wannabe edgy romance at best. There are so many unnecessary detail in this book. Also, it seems like the author threw in risqué language and subjects like rape and molestation, which were completely pointless to the story, in an effort to shock readers. I am not shocked easily so it wasn’t the subject matter or the words that bothered me. What bothered me is that there was absolutely no point to add those details to the story. This story is way too many hours of “regrets” and “longing” and “I hate you” turned into “I love you” two sentences later. When all was said and done, I felt like I just got done watching a cheesy, adult episode of scooby doo. You get to the end and the bad guy turns out to be absolutely no one worth caring about and you feel like you missed something really important in the middle but turns out it’s just a terrible story.

Please do yourself a favor and pick a different book. I wish I did.

Review 3: The Dark Bones audiobook by NightRunner

Really good book and worth your time!

This does start out a little slow as it builds the characters and weaves the story but it picks up speed and doesn’t slow down until the end. The character development and mindsets based on their ages are true to life. There is a bit of language and sexual tension but nothing graphic. The writer doesn’t shy away from the abuses many criminals are willing to inflict. There is about a 2 minute blurb where the author allows a bit of political bias show but overall, it is thoroughly enjoyable to listen to. I definitely avoid books where the author feels the need to preach their political biases instead of focusing on writing a good story.

I have read other books by Loreth and will continue to do so!
