This will shatter your ideas of any other twisty, dark, thriller that includes a doozy of a cliffy BUT SO WORTH IT!
OMG I am just going to start with this – the cliffhanger!!! Unlike in Reginald Bones 1, where the cliffy was, in my opinion, thoughtful and not terrible… Bones 2, on the other hand – I want to throw things! Namely at Mr. Bane, or at least, sock him in the arm LOL (of course, I’m kidding as I think he’s an amazing writer, but I’m still going to stick my tongue out at you!!).
Ok, now that that’s out of my system. Firstly, I want to say – WHY is Mr. Bane NOT on one of those Big Bestseller lists because he should be!! He has masterfully interwoven dark, thriller, and humor into one story that has you feeling for all the characters. Characters that you maybe should have disdain for, you can’t help but fall in love with.
Reginald Bones, a fractured man, who has two distinct personalities, where each has some sort of relationship with Winter, one wants and loves, and the other…well, let’s just say deals with it, and gets fringe benefits, and Winter - gets confused. We go through the struggles of all three characters and your heart changes loyalty throughout; you will be rooting for each of these main characters at one point or another.
Just when you think there could be a resolution or compromise to their situation, a whole new monkey wrench gets thrown into the mix. This takes you right toward the end of book two and leaves your jaw dropping farther than a bungee jump. I was never a fan of the cliffy, but I’m an even bigger fan of Lucian Bane so I deal … and this one is a doozy!! But I KNOW it will be well worth the wait, it ALWAYS is! Do NOT hesitate; this is a series that is well worth reading! Oh yeah, I always forget about the steaming, erotic bits…but seriously, you could scratch that out if it offends, the story is that good! Don’t think! Just one-click!!
