Take Ink And Bone Drafted By Lisa Unger Expressed As E-Text

year old Finley Montgomery has grown up being visited by people who others can't see and haunted by prophetic dreams, She has no control over what's going on with her and is lost with no one to understand it, Her mother had taken her away from the Hollows and her grandmother Eloise Montgomery but now Finley knows it's time to return and learn how to control her psychic abilities.


Merri Gleason's husband, Wolf, surprised the family with a trip to the Hollows, While Wolf was out hiking with the kids they were attacked and Wolf and his son were shot while their daughter Abbey was taken, Now several months later and down to her last bit of hope Merri has decided to hire detective Jones Cooper who sometimes works with psychic Eloise Montgomery.
Eloise and her granddaughter find themselves caught up in trying to solve Abbey's disappearance,

Ink and Bone is part of a series of books by Lisa Unger that feature the Hollows and former detective now turned investigator Jones Cooper and psychic Eloise Montgomery.
This is the first of these books I've read and I do believe it read fine as a standalone novel,

This would be another definite page turner of a book as you follow along with a wide range of characters looking to solve the disappearances at the place called the Hollows.
Finley is a rather colorful character as she's grown up dealing with these powers all on her own and now finding herself with her grandmother.
The family of the missing girl all had their own struggles as they have tried to cope and not fall apart each day that their daughter has been missing.


I loved the added touch of the paranormal brought into this thriller, Different from your normal follow the clues that police or investigators find in a read we are following along with Finley and her visions which even she sometimes doesn't know what is real or not.


Overall, an engaging thriller with paranormal psychic elements, Interesting case with interesting characters involved, One that I'd recommend checking out,

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review,

Ten months after her daughter Abbey was abducted during a vacation in 'The Hollows', Merri Gleason returns to the upstate New York town.
Desperate to find out what happened to her daughter, Merri hires cop turned private investigator Jones Cooper who usually works with psychic Eloise Montgomery,



This time, however, Eloise's gifted granddaughter Finley is getting paranormal 'messages' about the case,



Finley recently moved to The Hollows to be close to her supportive grandmother and to get away from her difficult mom and unfaithful beau.
However Finley's cheating boyfriend Rainer followed her to town, hoping to redeem himself, Nevertheless Finley concentrates on her college classes and keeps Rainer at a distance aside from going to his tattoo parlor to get inked,



As the story unfolds there are flashbacks to the Gleason family before and after the kidnapping, We learn that Merri's husband Wolf was having an affair that affected his judgment and behavior, The flashbacks alternate

with what's going on in the present, including Cooper's investigation Finley's psychic experiences and accounts of a girl called Penny, who's being held prisoner by a hillbilly family.




During his inquiries Cooper discovers that, over the years, several girls have disappeared from The Hollows, WE learn that all these girls had some psychic abilities, And that's about all I can say without spoilers,

For me this isn't one of Lisa Unger's best books, The Penny parts are disturbing and slow down the story too much the police investigations prior to Cooper being hired are inept Merri and Finley are too 'understanding' of their cheating men who should be cut loose immediately and forever and the hillbilly people are more like caricatures than real humans.
Moreover, the story's ending isn't quite satisfying,

Though I'm not a big fan of this book I'd probably read other stories by Unger,

You can follow my reviews at sitelink blogspot. com/ Creepy. Haunting. Tense. It took just two days of sparetime reading to finish this book, and on the second, anyone who even thought about prying my Kindle out of my hands would have regretted it.
My sweet husband, bless his heart, knows better than to try even though it meant he had to fetch takeout for dinner,

Ironically, I almost didn't read it at all, When I had a chance to get it from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an unbiased review, I of course read the description and editorial reviews.
Twisty psychological suspense Check. Prophetic dreams Maybe. Supernatural You've got to be kidding, In the end, though, my sense of nothing ventured, nothing gained won out, And within the first couple of chapters, the author won me over,

On the surface, this is a story about Abbey, a young girl who has been missing formonths, and Finley Montgomery, a tattoocoveredyearold who "sees" and "feels" people and things no one else does with the exception of her grandmother Eloise.
The grandmother, in fact, is a wellknown psychic in The Hollows, a secluded New York community, Finley is staying with Eloise over the objections of her mother, who wants nothing to do with the town in which she once lived and even less with her mother, Eloise, whom she fears might encourage Finley to explore their shared "gift.
"

Abbey was taken while her parents and younger brother were vacationing in The Hollows, Her father took the kids on a hike in the woods, where both he and his son were shot, Alive but unable to move, they watched as a man dragged a screaming Abbey away, Understandably, the incident tore the family apart and traumatized the young boy, In desperation, Abbey's mother Merri decides to return to the scene of the abduction and hires a local detective, who happens to work occasionally with Eloise, in hopes of finding her daughter.


If that were all there were to it, I suppose the story could be told in a handful of chapters, And certainly, there are plenty of thrills and chills as details of what really happened are revealed, But the real intrigue lies in the complexity of the characters and it is here that the writing really shines, Chapter by chapter, layers are peeled back and we see the good, the bad and the downright ugly as well as everyone's "connections" to the living, the dead and the.
. . well, just read the book,
There were elements I seriously enjoyed in this book, Finley was a fantastic character, edgy and dark and fitted in well with the atmosphere of the book, Maybe I should have stuck to reading the book as I didnt particularly like the narrator, some awkwardness there, and couldnt decide if it was the fault of the writing or the narrator having trouble.
I almost stopped listening but the story pulled me in enough to keep going, With Lisa Unger you either get a hit or a miss with Ink amp Bone it was a definite hit in the ball park, I actually could not put this down it got me sucked right in from the prologue this was a lot different from Miss Unger delving into the Paranormal genre its damn well worked a treat.



I also found the characters of Finley amp her Grandmother were written superbly strong with no flaws, along with the creepy eerie feeling of the Hollows right throughout.



Twenty Year old Finley Montgomery has a gift amp sees the world differently to others sometimes it helps amp sometimes it doesn't but she always feels an outsider, until she moves in with her grandmother Eloise in the Hollows in New York where she hopes to start a new life.



A Little girl goes missing in the Hollows amp is nowhere to be found Detective Jones Cooper comes into investigate, he enlists the help of Finley as he has heard of her psychic powers that her grandmother Eloise also has, although he is not a true believer he teams up with Finley to find Abbey WHERE IS SHE amp WHO COULD TAKE HER THAT IS THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION!!


Whatever you do this year put this one on your list you won't be disappointed.



the premise amp firstof this book were SUPER intriguing but ultimately this lacked in both thrill and mystery, nice to know that i don't hate ALL speculative/supernatural elements in these sorts of books which i thought was the case prior to reading this, but sucked that those elements weren't coupled with really cool plot.


also the characters all kind of, . . sucked i think there are very few authors in the thriller/mystery genre that write characters who are, . . convincingly complex. sadly i don't know that this author is one of them, i could tell she was trying to really make them sympathetic but they read like any domestic thrillers' boring husband/wifeonespousecheats duo,

anyway, this wasn't a BAD book, if the premise interests you and you don't mind a lack of true surprise you might enjoy this,
