The Bones Will Speak by Carrie Stuart ParksMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
I've put this series on hold after I read book one - for some reason I just found it okay. But I kept seeing great reviews and awards going towards this series, so though I will give it another try. I did like book one a bit better after I reread it, but really liked this second book in the series.
I think I finally got Gwen - I'm starting to understand where her humor and personality is coming from and enjoyed it in this book. I also enjoyed the subject matter of this book a lot more than book one.
The suspense plot was thrilling, captivating and I had my idea of who it might be and was totally wrong. The action was nail biting and the way we saw it from Gwen's POV made this reader feel like I was right there, next to her.
Gwen, with her dry sense of humour and struggle to forgive, will also be a relatable character with a lot of readers, since we all have something in our past we might still need to fully let go through forgiveness.
Recommended to fans of romantic suspense.
