The Bone Forest by V.J. Chambers
3.0
The Bone Forest (Wren Delacroix #1)
V. J. Chambers
Date Read: 16 Feb 2024
⭐️⭐️⭐️ (2.5 in all reality…)
TW: death, cults, kidnapping, death of children, drugs, infidelity, divorced parents, autistic child which dad resents (hey, I appreciated the honesty of it, but it felt really awkward and out of place in this story) I needed something to read while waiting for my next hold to come up at the library.
This book had a lot of potential, but the editing was really poor, and the writing was not polished at all.
The characters weren’t super likable…Reilly’s relationship with his son is awkward and out of place - it serves no point in this book.
Not a lot of twists - pretty predictable. While the list of suspects seems long, we can narrow it down within the first few chapters.
Fortunately this was a really short book at 195 pages; I’m not sure if I’ll go out of my way to read any others…it just didn’t grip me enough to care.
