The Bones of Others by Vickie McKeehanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Bones of Others took me completely by surprise. The subject of pedophiles and children is always touchy and wrenches the heart muscles. McKeehan crafted a really good novel exploring how a victim becomes the heroine. Skye's journey and strength in this novel fueled me to continue to read on, being a victim of such violence at a young age and then turning that experience in her life to a fuel source to help others is nothing short of remarkable. This novel not only had a drama it also had a little romance. I was thankful for the small breaks in emotion that the romantic story line placed strategically in with the hunt for justice. McKenna, does not make it sappy or something dropped out of a chick literature; but it is slight mention that reminds us that the main character is still woman and human.
McKenna expands a little on native american heritage and has a small sense of paranormal-ism with the Spirit Wolf. The Spirit Wolf was a nice touch to the novel that helped explain Skye's cultural background, which is mentioned throughout the novel. McKenna did a wonderful job, although the novel is a little long I quite enjoyed the read immensely. I cannot wait for the second novel coming out Summer 2013.
