Book Review of Bones To Pick (Sarah Booth Delaney, Bk 6)

Bones To Pick (Sarah Booth Delaney, Bk 6)


It's entirely possible this is the most boring, unrealistic, silly book I've ever drug through. Cliché tied to cliché, adjectives piled on adjectives, syrupy southernisms, stock characters - this one has it all. There is neither enough plot nor mystery here to actually call the thing a book. It's just a string of romantic dreams. No one drinks; they 'quench their parched throats.' No one hears any bad news without 'tears welling up along their dark eyelashes.' Every false emotional moment brings forth the same false response. Not only is the writing sad, what plot I could find is convoluted and contrived. The thought this woman has written a series frightens me.
