California Bones by Greg Van Eekhout
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Loved, because:
*Humor (found in such quotes as this one:“Oh, wow,” he said. “You are made of love.” Odd reaction to three strangers in ski masks bursting into his room.)
*Magic (albeit very strange, disturbing magic)
*Such. An. Adorable. Cast.
Disliked, because:
*I have an aversion to swearwords. What can I say? I’m a homeschooled Christian that prefers my literature profanity-deficient.
*As previous reviewers have also noted, it is somewhat difficult to relate to the characters. This is due to some stiffness in the writing style, I believe.
I fully recommend this book! The missing star is the result of all the swearing, because it seriously bothers me. It came sooooo close to 5 stars.
