Bone Crier's Moon by Kathryn Purdie
5.0

The Leuress or Bone Criers are a cult of women who ferry the dead into the afterlife. But before they may become a ferrier they must acquire the a bone from 3 animals slain by their own hand so as to acquire their magic, and also they kill their soulmate.

One night during a full moon, Sebastian witnessed his father be seduced and killed in cold blood by a Bone Crier. He has been training himself, and is finally ready to hunt one down to take his revenge. Ailesse has desired to become a ferrier and is ready to finally meet, and kill her own soulmate.
Both are awaiting the net full moon to finally fulfill their vows.

Honestly, I was immediately riveted. It started out fast paced and I was completely taken in by the world building and magic; very atmospheric and almost gothic in mood. The story slows down a bit midway so as to do a little character developing and to allow for the passage of time. The characters were likable, but did more to move the story along than anything. I wasn't overly attached to anyone in particular. Overall I was very entertained, and am looking forward to reading the conclusion in the net book.

Content was very clean of sexual content and foul language.
Does contain non graphic violence.
