The Bone Houses: Emily Lloyd-Jones

Product Information

Really enjoying this series. The atmosphere of the town is creepy, the plot rather dark, and the characters are full of surprises. I love Sarah, her compassion, her drive, her character. Glory wagged a finger at him, and her torso swayed unsteadily. "Tresa wouldn't like that, would she? Seeing you and me together. Troy wouldn't like it either. He gets so jealous. If you want to do it with me, we should do it right here. Do you want to do it with me?" I'm not sure if I missed it, or if the reason behind the dead crows was washed away, but I'd like to know why they ended up in the lake...., although it was a good creepy beginning. But Detective Sarah Noble feels that there is more to the investigation and she's proven right when her friend's son Elliott shares that he's having nightmares and visions again. He warns of a darkness coming that wants to bring pain and suffering, and Sarah believes Cora to be in danger. Or, more accurately, in danger again, as she has a tragic past, barely escaping captivity from the notorious Bone House as a child. Now Sarah is investigating thos The writing is lyrical and compelling, with just the right amount of humor, romance and horror elements woven throughout.

A gravedigger and a mapmaker are trying to save the village from the risen corpses. Both of them are on a journey to the deep mountains against the dead. Mark Brady is a high school teacher in a small communty around Lake Michigan. He is accused having an affair with one of his students. Although nothing can be proven and the girl insists that nothing happened between them, he is released from his teaching position and is ostracized by the community. He is very fortunate that his wife, Hilary, believes in his innocence. This was one of those books that sounded good when I saw it all over various bookish social media platforms, but I hadn’t really prioritized reading it. Boy howdy, am I glad I decided to give it a shot, because, while it did have some small rough spots, as a whole it was an enjoyable read with a small dash of spookiness. Ryn is a strong, spunky and compassionate gravedigger, who took up the position after her father passed away. She is also trying to save her family home as she, her brother, Gareth, and her sister, Ceri, try to keep it afloat financially with no adult family members left to take care of them.

Full of twists, so it's impossible to stop reading ... I didn't figure out whodunit and kept suspecting the wrong character the whole time' Reader review 5 stars Because . . . ZOMBIES, which in this book we refer to as Bone Houses. And because strong heroines who dig graves for a living, cute soft boys who find comfort in books and drawing maps, as well as outstanding friendship and family/sibling relationship are (apparently) my kryptonites too. A spine-tingling stand-alone thriller of psychological suspense from Edgar-nominated author Brian Freeman, The Bone House

i can count on one hand the amount of mainstream novels that have incorporated traditional welsh influences into their stories. welsh folklore and culture - particularly northern welsh - is rich and magical, so i am beyond happy to see a story represent it (this even mentions the legend of beddgelert, which i may have lowkey freaked out about. lol).That wasn't how it was supposed to be. They'd left Chicago for rural Door County because they had wanted a quieter life in a place where they could join a community and raise a family. Instead, it had become a nightmare for Mark. Suspicion now followed him everywhere. He was marked with a scarlet letter. P for Predator. All because of Tresa Fischer. The visual vision of the Bone House is truly chilling, and when an old Priam is pulled from the deep of the lake, with the bones of a baby still inside, it’s the moment that Cora, the new mother, has feared since moving to Slayton. In terms of the actual mythological creatures included, some were the tylwyth teg (faery folk), the pwca (shapeshifting spirits), and the afanc (lake monsters). None of these are explained to the reader though because the characters grew up with them and don’t question their existence. However, we learn what these creatures are as the characters encounter them along their journey. The story starts off in the normal village of Colbren with not-so-normal creatures in the woods and then gradually descends into a magical world with a plethora of the fantastical beings that the characters grew up hearing stories about. (now, if only that could happen to me … :P)
