exorcismemily 's review for:
Ink and Bone
by Lisa Unger
I received this book from NetGalley in an exchange for an honest review.
I really wanted to like this book. The description sounds interesting, and like it could even be a little scary. DO NOT BE FOOLED. This story was incredibly boring, and I feel like I was tricked into reading a different story than the one described.
This book is mainly about a marriage that is falling apart, and a girl who apparently makes terrible decisions that aren't really explained, but with the tiniest bit of a mystery/thriller/horror aspect. I wanted it to be exciting, but it was over 300 pages of these unlikable characters complaining about their deteriorating relationships and lives.
The "plot twist" at the end is not good. I was surprised by it, but not in a way that was excited or drew any emotion. I was more surprised by how ridiculous it was.
The story was just basic surface-level information; the writer had the opportunity to go deeper with interesting topics like Finley's gift, or the town's secrets, but chose to prattle on about love (or the lack thereof) and relationships (and their demise).
I do not recommend this book, and once again, the synopsis is not an accurate description of what this book is really about.
