Review

Detective Fitzroy is determined to capture The Bone Collector. She missed him previously and she will not let it happen a second time. Now, if she can only find him in time to save Clara. Clara has been kidnapped by The Bone Collector and time is running out. Detective Fitzroy knows she must step up her game to win this war!

The Bone Collector is enlisting some help. He has found him a young apprentice. He is planning on using this new apprentice to lure Jakey back into his web. Then there is Clara. She has been alive too long. She has to be dealt with soon.

I have not read the first book in this series. I would recommend reading it first. I would have understood Jakey’s plight a little sooner. It took me several pages to figure out…he was the one that got away.

This tale started out fairly slow. I almost bailed. But then it picked up and turned into pretty fantastic read. Once the anticipation kicks in, this novel becomes riveting. Not sure I want to ever encounter the pure evil of the Bone Collector —-SHIVER!

I received this novel from Macmillan Publishing via Netgalley for a honest review
