I’m rolling in “good book” vibes right now……the cover made sense in that last chapter.
Joooooyyyyyy, also Anne Bishop’s mind is a scary place to live.

Another great book in the wider world of the Others. I enjoy getting a more in-depth view of characters we have met before and seeing how the world continues from exploit to exploit. This book has multiple points of view of the same incident so it's exciting to see how everyone interpreted the details differently.

As always Anne pulls through with another great story.

I loved Anne Bishops very different take on Urban fantasy, but after reading so many books the ditzy female everyone protects is a bit grating. I do enjoy the story structure leaving us guessing until the end.

Crowbones by Anne Bishop is the 8th book of The Others. Welcome to the Jumble, an Inn run by Vicki DeVine. Here Others and humans can mix. Too bad the crowguard boogeyman showed up to ruin Trickster Night.

Disclaimer I read this almost a year ago. Plenty of details remain in my brain but it can be a little fuzzy. I love this series so already this book would have a hard time disappointing me. I like that Vicki seems to know that she can still be eaten. I feel as the series has progressed there is safety to some characters but here Vicki definitely felt protected but also under threat. While not the fastest pace around it was not a drag to read. Bishop had another more meek female who had some gusto but who still needed to be protected as a main character. This did not make her unlikable but it did make it predictable. Of the series I have to say this was not the strongest showing but still enjoyable.

Three stars because while still enjoyable just was missing something that I cannot define. I still recommend it and will absolutely praise and recommend the series still. Thank you to NetGalley, Berkley Publishing Group and Anne Bishop for a free copy. This was an honest review.
