Near the Bone by Christina Henry
3.0
3.5
The first half is thrilling and the pace perfect. I was intrigued from the first pages.
However, the second half of the book was more difficult to read. The main characters and especially Mattie keep repeating the obvious, leaving us without any room for interpretation. The fact of explaining everything and telling us how to think puts the reader in an infantile position and slows the story’s action.
Also, C.P. one of the characters seemed unrealistic to me.
It is all in all an entertaining read with some minor flaws.
