I’ve been reading the webtoon for a while. The book is absolutely amazing. I normally can’t get lost in books that I read on electronics. Not Even Bones is a rare exception and I’m excited to read the rest of the series.

Alright, this books is pretty well-written and descriptive. Believe me when I say not to eat during the fight scenes because you will throw up from all the descriptive gore. The book is pretty “bone-chilling”(get it? Cause the title is Not eve- …you know I mean). The plot has some common cliches here in there, but it still keeps you on your toes (wink wink, anyone get the reference lol). A lot of times the dark plot makes the small instances of normalcy stand out and create like a push and pull situation that only sucks you more in. Characters are quite interesting and all of them are morally gray except maybe

Boulder, Reyes, and couple minor characters

The villains tend to be very morally black, and the rest characters are somewhere on the gray side of morals, which to me is a genius choice for a book in this setting. The characters and the details are used very well to portray identity and morals.

Nita imagining a scalpel to calm down, Kovid’s rules, Lorenzo and Jorge relationship

. These details really added personality and flaws to the characters. If you want a book that explores, justification for killing, pain, and other dark subjects and some supernatural gore mixed in, this might be the perfect fit for you. Beware there’s a lot of dark subjects that can be triggering for people in this book. Overall a very good read, and exciting start to the series, Can’t wait to read the other ones.

Fast-paced thriller with really interesting characters with a complicated relationship with the ideas of right and wrong.

Betrayal, dissection, and black markets. If you are looking for something dark, twisted, and bloody I highly recommend this. 
After reading books like Stalking Jack the Ripper, The Madman's Daughter, and Six of Crows I was struggling to find something with that delightfully dark flavor. Then I stumbled on this at the library. 
It's honestly very interesting and pleasant to me to find YA books that aren't afraid of pushing the envelope. Too often books seem to be afraid of showing the horrors of certain things, this is not one of those books. I was very delighted to see that this was just as dark as it hinted it would be. 
 
I cannot wait to add this and its sequel to my own shelves.
