Etched in Bone

This book proved, that it was possible to write five books without any love triangles.

This is a fifth book in a series but the author did a good job of not confusing the reader introducing characters from past books. I haven't read any other book in “The Others” series and I felt this could be a stand-alone story. Liked the main character, Luc, and the main female lead, Corinne. The book was a fast, easy read. What bothered me was the romance was a big focus through most of the story and the investigative tale took a back seat a lot of the time. The inquiry and search didn't seem very urgent.

After the attacks from Humans First and Last, Lakeside and other communities are trying to get back to a normal life. Easier said than done, with the question “How much human will the terra indigene keep?” hanging over their heads. To find an answer to that question, two of the elders have been sent to Lakeside to observe the interactions between the humans and the Others. Also arriving in Lakeside, Lt. Montgomery's brother Cyrus. The elders will see how one evil human can disrupt or destroy the lives of many. This deserves a lot more than 5 stars!! It is amazing!! I really hope Anne decides to write more of these, because this is one of the best series of all time. I will be really sad if it is ending. I highly recommend this to everyone!!!
