Title: Bone Music
Author: Christopher Rice
My Rating: 4 stars
When she was just a baby, Trina's mother was murdered and she was kidnapped by serial killers who then raised her as their own. When she was seven, she was rescued, but her dad exploited her story for fame and profit. As an adult she changed her name and tried for a fresh start, but then someone she trusted gave her an experimental drug that gave her powers. What would she do with this newfound strength?
I really like Christopher Rice's writing style. I have since I read his first book Density of Souls. I really enjoyed that first book, and his second, Snow Garden. So I have continued to read his books, and enjoy his style, but after those first two, there always seems to be something weird about the books. I enjoy the style, but maybe not always the story. With this one, it's a good story, and I did give it 4 stars, but I felt that the way the term "bone music" is used and the sensation is described was a little awkward.
I liked the way the book began with a glimpse into her childhood. It was interesting to see what that was like for her. I also liked the thriller angle of this, that it wasn't just about Charlotte/Trina, but also about this other killer. I'm curious to see what she does with her powers now, if she'll go after other killers, etc.
