INK AND BONE by Lisa Unger
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Unfortunately this book didn’t click with me, and clearly I’m in the minority here, because there are many, many great reviews for INK AND BONE. Reading this book, I felt like I’d been dropped in the middle of an ongoing saga, like there’s a whole lot of back story I should already know. Besides that, there just seemed to be so much going on, so many subplots and characters, so many POVs, that it made me dizzy.

The main storyline involves the kidnapping of a young girl while the family was vacationing in The Hollows, New York. Ten months later, the distraught parents return to the area and hire a private detective, who’s aided by a young woman with psychic ability.

While I was drawn in by the premise, especially the paranormal elements, the story was too disjointed and confusing for me. One reason could be that I listened to this book on audio, which makes it harder to keep all of the layers straight. I would imagine that readers familiar with her previous books set in The Hollows would enjoy INK AND BONE more than I did.

Lisa Unger’s In the Blood is one of my favorite suspense novels ever, so I’d definitely give her next book a try!

Disclosure: I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
