The Bone Wars

I just finished The Bone Wars by Erin S. Evan and this is my review.


Molly Wilder is spending the summer digging for fossils in Montana. When the team she is interning for finds what appears to be the fossil of a dragon, the team can't believe that is what it is.
Within less than 12 hours everything has been stolen and a package arriving just after, which triggers the team to go hunting for the reason why someone would have managed to preplan the theft with such little time.
The hunt takes Molly, Derek famed fossil hunter and Dr Sean Oliphant on a trip to England and other parts of Europe as they hunt for more information on their “monster” and why someone is fighting so hard to keep it all hidden.
I am not going to lie... I couldn't remember what this book was about when I started and about a chapter in which I got so excited I finished it in 4 hours. I literally ignored everything to read.

The book is centered around multiple points of view which I wasn't a fan of, especially as it didn't indicate who's POV it was at the top of the chapter. I did like all the POV characters though which helped take the sting out. Personally I would add at the beginning of each chapter who it is as I was a little confused a couple of times.

The storyline was so good!! The idea that there is a secret organization keeping the knowledge that dragons may have roamed the earth during the time of dinosaurs was so thrilling! The wild ride the team goes on hunting down clues that other dragon type fossils had been found over the years and how another group was trying to uncover the information about it too so they could tell the world... GENIUS!! Even if you are not a fan of dinosaurs, you won't help being drawn in by this book. It's well written, the mystery is well put together and the constant change in location will keep you entertained from start to finish. I had to go and make sure that this book was being set up for a series and thankfully it is! I have not had enough of Derek just yet!!

Definitely got me hooked and I definitely cannot wait for book 2!! Now it is listed as a YA and I personally think YA shouldn't have adult POVs so it loses half a star for that.
4 stars! Like I said, it was just the confusing POV that lost another half a star otherwise this was a home run for me. If you enjoy books that straddle multiple genres then you should give it a try!!

Thank you Inkshares and @netgalley for my review copy
