Near the Bone

3.5 Stars

It was kind of slow in the beginning, but picked up at about 40%. The first 40% was a lot of abuse and what Mattie/Samantha has been going through.

Mattie/Samantha doesn't know how long she has been living with William in the woods in a small cabin but she is starting to remember some of her past. While all the abuse is going on inside the cabin, something is outside with sharp claws and teeth.

A good winter read filled with blood, ice cold snow, creepy noises, domestic abuse, and survivalist adventure. I wish there would of been an epilogue or more to the ending.
