I’m hiiiighly debating posting a pic of one my lab dissections from my bio course? Maybe? It’s a split-open rat, if y’all wonder. Also, Nita’s talk of how dissecting brings her inner peace did not, in fact, strike me as weird because let me tell you: lab dissections are the most fun activities ever in the hellish things that are college courses. Nita is a fabulous lead. She’s vulnerable enough for a story this bloody, and her reactions are realistic (<- something that proved no longer a concern to me, because I like my heroines realistically vulnerable, especially with all the body chopping going on). One of the coolest things ever, too, was the fact that this was set in the Amazon rainforest? Like, why didn’t anyone tell me this sooner? I love this.

This is guaranteeing my interest.ĪCTUAL FOOTAGE OF ME ENTERING ANY ROOM I HEAR THE WORD “SCHWAB” INĪnd really, this was rather fun. There is a sufficient does of action sequences and moral-questioning and break outs and etc. Plus, you know, one of the comp titles for this one was Schwab’s This Savage Song, and I mean … come ON. I mean, dissecting monsters and selling them online to shady customers? *crashes though the door to enter dramatically*. I wouldn’t be exaggerating at all when I say that NOT EVEN BONES is my most anticipated 2018 YA read (and I say YA because there’s Queen Schwab’s VICIOUS coming out, which is adult). This was hella weird – but in a good way? Now she’s going to do a lot of bad deeds to get it all back. Nita did a good deed, and it cost her everything. Now Nita is on the other side of the bars, and there is no line she won’t cross to escape and make sure no one can ever capture her again.

Nita just dissects the bodies after they’ve been “acquired.” But when her mom brings home a live specimen, Nita decides she wants out - dissecting living people is a step too far.īut when she tries to save her mother’s victim, she ends up sold on the black market in his place - because Nita herself is a supernatural being. Nita doesn’t murder supernatural beings and sell their body parts on the internet-her mother does that. Dexter meets This Savage Song in this dark fantasy about a girl who sells magical body parts on the black market - until she’s betrayed.
