The Rattled Bones by S.M. Parker
3.0
I went into this story thinking it was a thriller... but I disagree. I’d say this book is more of a “paranormal mystery.” I’m not typically a fan of books that involve the paranormal/supernatural forces and probably wouldn’t have picked it up knowing.
What I loved about this story was the fact it took place in Maine from a young Fisherman/Fisher-woman’s perspective. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about catching lobsters and even basic fisherman slang. I even liked that Rilla had aspirations to further her education to strengthen her families fishing business.
This book wasn’t bad, I found myself interested in the mystery of the island and the folks that lived there... but I wasn’t really feeling the “water people” and I’m left confused how that tied in with what had happened. I found myself losing interest when it came to the ghost (Agatha) and her warnings to find her.
Overall, I didn’t think this story was for me. Like I’d mentioned previously,
