You Will Not Know Me By My Bones

I was interested by the synopsis because it genuinely sounded like something I'd want to read but it wasn't enough to keep me going. I really tried to push through and finish the book because it's under 300 pages but when something happened in the book and I was like “Oh I'm supposed to be all shocked” and instead I was just.. skim reading and paging with a blank face. I liked how the author wrote for the most part – the ‘old' sounding narration. Unfortunately then modern dialogue came in and too much of that threw me off and I couldn't get into the book fully.

The characters were the tiniest bit interesting but it also wasn't enough. Gris, especially, was dramatic with his words when it didn't call for it and his figures of speech were unnecessarily dramatic as well. I'd understand and maybe like it if it were part of the character's personality – but it didn't seem like that. I liked Thanatos more than Gris but (once again) not enough to keep me reading.
