Bare Bones

Written by Lauretta Hignett

Narrated by Sharon Freedman

A powerful supernatural mob boss is terrorizing my neighborhood, demanding protection money from store owners and breaking legs when it's not paid. His little gang member minions are all humans, and one of them just showed up at my new business insisting I pay him my monthly 'insurance premium', or face the boss himself. Funnily enough, this arrogant little underling has no idea what his employer is.

Neither do I. He's a complete mystery, and he's been operating right under our noses for years.

Every supe store owner has been paying up and, bizarrely enough, keeping quiet about it, which makes me very, very nervous.

As Enforcer, it's my job to find out who this mob boss is, what he is, and take him down.

But to do that, first I have to face the man who completely destroyed my reputation and ripped my little teenage heart to shreds.

As if the mysterious supernatural mob boss wasn't scary enough, nooo, I've got to face the reason why I'm so goddamn angry all the time.

Reviews for Bare Bones

[Juliet Appiah-nyanta · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Enjoyed the second book more than I thought I would.
It did read so well that I thought I may have missed some books. Turns out I haven't really, well, it's a spin-off series based in a bookiverse world. In those books, we meet Prue's friends as the main characters, and she must be such a good support character that she thrives in her own story.
Another glimpse into our FMCs, trama, and this is around her first love, and yes, it's hard hitting. But wow, I didn't expect the twist till closer to the reveal ?.

Strong world and character building. Hilarious moments involving a goth pixie who can poo out magical horny dust. Also, sad and dark triggers around bullying, addiction, depression.

There is still sexual tension, and it makes me wonder if this will be an RH in the end. I know she said she is a one man woman... but likes Nix implied, it could be fun ??

A new enemy, linked to our FMCs past trama and a new trama faced, not closed but solved enough to lighten the plastered over cracks from that trama to thin filled with gold lines making her strong inside as she grows outside as an bad ass, well meaning, choas being, loving woman!
