Not Even Bones by Rebecca Schaeffer

4.0

---

This world is one that both terrifies me and fascinates me. Nita is a fierce character with questionable morals, who dissects dead bodies so her mother can sell their body parts online. These bodies belong to “unnaturals”, beings that aren’t quite human and have abilities that range from eating peoples pain to changing pink from what they eat like a flamingo. After saving a live unnatural that her mother brings home, Nita finds herself sold to the black market and has to find a way out before she is sold off to the highest bidder or they start taking parts of her. The internal struggle Nita goes through with the things she needs to do to escape is so real and you struggle right along with her. The descriptions of anatomy, especially related to Nita’s ability, are amazing. I cannot wait to jump into the next one and have already pre-ordered the paperback of the 3rd! If you want a good spooky season read go pick this one up now!!
