The Bones of the Holy
by Jennifer Allison
I have been a fan of the Gilda Joyce series since my middle school days, when I read the first novel (Gilda Joyce: Psychic Investigator). I absolutely love the character of Gilda--she's a quirky, well-written, believable character that I would love to have as a friend in real life (the mark of a fantastic character, in my mind). The fact that the series is now on its fifth book and I still enjoy a series that I began in middle school now, as an 18-year-old, is a testimony to Jennifer Allison's talent as a writer. The Bones of the Holy was definitely the best in the series so far--spooky, suspenseful, and filled with all the 'Gilda-isms' that we know and love. I read this book over the course of a single day--I simply couldn't put it down, especially near the end when I was turning pages so fast I was afraid I would rip them. The setting of St. Augustine, Florida, was perfect and I hope Gilda gets to return there, possibly for a future book, as I'm hoping there will be many more to come in the series.
