Near the Bone

This book was scary as hell. I felt like I didn't breathe for the three hours it took me to read it – in one sitting, since I literally could not bring myself to put it down. I found Mattie to be an incredibly compelling main character and loved rooting for her. I will say that at times William felt almost cartoonish in his evil and I wish he were a bit more three dimensional, but that's really my only complaint. The tension in this was so thick, and I truly didn't know what would befall any of the characters. I'm really excited to pick up more by Christina Henry and think this is going to end up being one of my top books of the year.
