So exciting! Going in my favorite file!

The Book of Bones by David Wood narrated by awesome Jeffrey Kafer is so clever, witty, exciting, suspenseful, full of intrigue and possibilities 😁. I was glued to my tablet, dinner was going to be late! I didn't know what this book was about when I got it but wow, it is a winner! It has one of my top five narrators narrating it so double wow! This is book two in the series so I immediately bought book one! Awesomeness all around, story and narration.

Bones is no sidekick.

So far both Bones standalone stories I have listened to have been just as fun as the Maddock & Bones series. One of the reasons I like those stories is that Bones isn't a sidekick, both characters have their moments & it's more of a 60/40 than a 90/10 situation. These books drive that point home, Bones has no issue carrying a story on his own.

To be clear I know that these books are not going to be literary classics & am also aware that they are as far fetched as your typical action movie. With that said they are fun, quick & have likable characters. They address cool historical fiction, cryptozoology & alien storylines in a more grounded way, but don't pull a bait & switch at the end by making the conclusion overly mundane. These books for me are comfort food & if looked at through that lens they are awesome.

Lastly the bonus story at the end, is just awesome & would have loved to have seen that play out in a full length story.
