A Whisper of Bones

The Book Nook

A Whisper of Bones was less of a whisper and more of a scream. What you would expect to be only one storyline ended up being multiple stories tied into one. It honestly seemed like too many stories in my opinion because there was so much going on and so many characters to keep track …

How to Be Safe

The Book Nook

How to Be Safe is one of those books that makes you question the writer with every page. Who is this guy? What was he thinking? Is this story a reflection of who he is as a person? He says so much without ever really saying anything. He makes political references, race references, and religious …
