Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

A slasher flick spliced with Crime and Punishment, this engrossing debut novel asks complex philosophical questions in a pleasingly hard-to-stomach way. Kirkus
Readers who are tired of the same recycled story lines will find something original here...The story is so compelling that readers have to keep going to find out how, or if Nita gets out of this mess. School Library Journal
The thrilling plot proves thought-provoking. Publishers Weekly
[A] morally complex, edgy debut...Schaeffer’s antiheroes show empathy and insight as they struggle to define the line between human and monster. It’s a testament to Schaeffer’s excellent writing that these themes never overtake the characters’ stories. Booklist, STARRED review
Deliciously dark and devious, with morally grey characters that make you question what is good and what is truly evil. Warning: don't read in the dark. Rebecca Sky, author of Arrowheart
Twisty, grisly, genre-bending and immersive, Not Even Bones will grab you by the throat and drag you along as it gleefully tramples all of your expectations. Sara Holland, New York Times best-selling author of Everless
Gritty, compelling, a tale to feed the monster in all of us. I couldn’t put this one down. Elly Blake, the New York Times best-selling author of Frostblood
"Almarie Guerra does an excellent job capturing the dark nature of the book and gives Nita a voice that shows her lack of social skills and her developing conscience.… Mature teens who enjoy morally gray characters and intense suspense will be drawn to the story. School Library Journal
