Pile of Bones by Bailey Cunningham
2.0
I was lucky enough to win a copy of this book off First Reads. However, it just wasn’t my cup of tea.
Don’t get me wrong, the idea was really awesome. Grad-student that live other lives at night in an alternate universe? I mean, everyone as some point has pretender to be their favourite superhero and I found that the characters were connected to their alternate selves. I really liked the idea and it seemed very original.
I do like how the story was written so that we get to see some part of the story in their perspective. It was cool to see the different problems that each character really struggled with. They were different so we got a little bit of variety and it also added a sense of reality to these characters.
However, I didn’t like how the story came together. It felt really slow and at times I found myself
confused and had to reread a couple of lines.
Overall, I liked the idea and thought that some parts of the book weren’t bad. But, this story just wasn’t my cup of tea.
