Beastly Bones
by William Ritter
Overall Rating 3.25
Although I enjoyed this story far more than the first book, I still found the plot sluggish and the story line until the end to be just interesting enough to continue but not intriguing enough to keep me hooked for long aspects at a time. I appreciate that Jackaby has formed at least a small amount of respect for Abigail and treats her if not wonderful but at least not blaming her for being a victim. I also liked that Abigail finally seems to be getting a backbone and is not so overly enthralled with being on her own that she can't stand up for herself. I also like the growing something between her and Charlie.
I found it confusing, especially because I was listening to the story, that every character is referred to by his or her last name. I realize this was socially correct for the time period however, the last names were all similar to one another making it difficult at times to keep them all straight.
The last 6 or so chapters is when the story finally picked and the ending did make me want to pick the next book up right away, which I suppose is the making of a good ending. Overall, I will continue on in the series but I have yet to be blown away.
