Crowbones

By: Anne Bishop

Narrated by: Alexandra Harris

In this engrossing and gripping fantasy set in the world of the New York Times bestselling Others series, an inn owner and her friends must find a killer—before it’s too late.…

Crowbones will gitcha if you don’t watch out!

Deep in the territory controlled by the Others—shape-shifters, vampires, and even deadlier paranormal beings—Vicki DeVine has made a new life for herself running The Jumble, a rustic resort. When she decides to host a gathering of friends and guests for Trickster Night, at first everything is going well between the humans and the Others.

But then someone arrives dressed as Crowbones, the Crowgard bogeyman. When the impostor is killed along with a shape-shifting Crow, and the deaths are clearly connected, everyone fears that the real Crowbones may have come to The Jumble—and that could mean serious trouble.

To “encourage” humans to help them find some answers, the Elders and Elementals close all the roads, locking in suspects and victims alike. Now Vicki, human police chief Grimshaw, vampire lawyer Ilya Sanguinati, and the rest of their friends have to figure out who is manipulating events designed to pit humans against Others—and who may have put Vicki DeVine in the crosshairs of a powerful hunter.

great storyline and flow

the character development is fantastic and I loved seeing the different regions come together! This book is a great follow up in the series.

Great series. Looking forward to the next

Really love the imaginative world build, engaging characters, really creative. I’d definitely like living in a mixed settlement.

Riveting

The narrator did a wonderful job of voicing the characters, especially Vicki since she was so mercurial. The elementals and others played a huge part of the story, and the build up to who was being hunted kept me glued to the story. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series and see how the new characters will change things.

WOW

This book took me back to a land that I had actually forgotten existed! I was excited to visit the area again and revisit some of the experiences and the personalities of the characters. This book held my interest until the end and I really was sorry when it ended. The narrator brought the characters to life and I could tell one from the other just by the tone of voice and the words used. outstanding read

I really love these books and the reader is great

This whole series is my go to for relaxation, I have read and listened to The Others multiple times and I’m sure I will listen and listen. LOVE ANNE BISHOP!!! Never disappoints
