Set in the world of the Others, Anne Bishop presents readers with CROWBONES. This dark story explores shapeshifters, vampires and other paranormal beings, so if you’re a Paranormal fan, then this is a must-read!
This story follows Vicki and the Jumble, a vacation getaway. Although she is human, she is faced with a lot of paranormal issues, including mysterious murders. To be honest, I was a little let down by this one a little as it didn’t hold my interest as some of the other books in the series. The writing is upbeat but not compelling.
However, the worldbuilding is absolutely amazing. You can tell that a lot of effort and detail is included so you can’t deny Bishop’s writing skill and imagination. So although this wasn’t my favorite book in the series, I always find myself coming back for more!
Deep in the territory controlled by the Others—shape-shifters, vampires, and even deadlier paranormal beings—Vicki DeVine has made a new life for herself running The Jumble, a rustic resort. When she decides to host a gathering of friends and guests for Trickster Night, at first everything is going well between the humans and the Others. But then someone arrives dressed as Crowbones, the Crowgard bogeyman. When the impostor is killed along with a shape-shifting Crow, and the deaths are clearly connected, everyone fears that the real Crowbones may have come to The Jumble—and that could mean serious trouble. To “encourage” humans to help them find some answers, the Elders and Elementals close all the roads, locking in suspects and victims alike. Now Vicki, human police chief Grimshaw, vampire lawyer Ilya Sanguinati, and the rest of their friends have to figure out who is manipulating events designed to pit humans against Others—and who may have put Vicki DeVine in the crosshairs of a powerful hunter.
