She was experiencing this because had betrayed her. Nita wasn’t making amends for her actions by experiencing this. “In movies, whenever the bad guys fell, it was “what they deserved” and “karmic retribution.” The thought had crossed Nita’s mind that she deserved this after everything she’d done in her life. Death is not a bad thing, rather the author shows us how death is better than living this world, where you cannot fully trust anyone but yourself, and always have to watch over your back.
This is a dog eat dog world and I’m so so amazed by the stakes, the world building, and the way the author explores the deepest darkness inside all of us. Moral persons are almost nonexistent, and love and trust are temporary and switching abstracts. Nowadays a lot of YA books are addressing this, showing us grey moral characters and I love that! But in NOT EVEN BONES, you’ll find the whole world corrupted and grey. Every single one of the characters have done questionable things. This is a really mature, sophisticated, insightful, and thought provoking book. This isn’t your typical YA urban fantasy. I mean the book left me reeling and I’m worried I might get book hangover now (considering I’ve got a blog tour coming up this month, this is NOT good!!). I started this book three days ago and devoured it so quick, it’s so bloody good (pun intended). I MEAN, WHAT COULD BE MORE SCARY THAN BEING EATEN ALIVE? I cannot think of any other book that surpassed this one when it comes to stakes and consequences. Seriously, this book has not only made me question deeply about grey shades of life and morality, but also about my own book and how poorly I’ve created the stakes in my book. OMG this is one of the best books of the year!! Content warnings for the book: Body mutilation, cannibalism, body dissection, murder, blood, sadism, fire, gun violence, gore, human trafficking, kidnapping.
