California Bones by Greg Van Eekhout
5.0
It's been a really long time since I was forced to stay up past my bedtime because I couldn't put a book down. This one made me do it.
I loved the worldbuilding. Even though the entire book was set in Los Angeles, we get a glimpse of how this alternate world is much like, but unlike our today. Being a Los Angelina, I loved the historical figures that were featured in the book.
And, oh, the magic.... It was as fascinating as it was creepy and made sense.
I hope this was the beginning of a trilogy and/or that we see more of this world. I'm off to see what else Mr. Van Eekhout has written.
Highly recommended read.
EDIT 2/6/15 - Still as good as the 1st time.
