Review of 'Ghost in Bone' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
3.5/5
The Ghost in Bone was a great fast paced and light read. It’s perfect for someone who wants a fun paranormal mystery with a snarky main character and a range of various characters from a ghost to a succubus.
I do wish that we spent more time with the other characters overall. Things went so quickly that some felt to have very little time, but I assume if you had read the previous books of the series they would have been bigger parts of the story.
The book was described as a good entry point in an ongoing series and I would say I wish there was a bit more. We tended to get a brief description and backstory which was alright but felt not super fleshed out along with the brief character appearances.

I also wish there was just more to bite into overall. The world seems very interesting, a blend of current day and paranormal, but that was very little in actually fleshing it out further. Lots of scenes as well felt rather rushed with a focus on conversation rather than grounding it into a real space giving me the vibe of not really knowing where things took place. The magical aspect was also super intriguing but sparsely used, and I really just wanted to see more of it!
Overall though it was a quick and fun read!
