Book Review: A Bone In His Teeth by Kellen Graves


A huge thank you to Kellen for allowing me to read an E-Arc of this novel, I am incredibly grateful. A Bone in His Teeth is both haunting and beautiful. Alba was a wonderful character to have as the narrator, his struggles with being trans and his disability due to a past injury were handled with so much care. I don’t often find myself rooting for characters to ruin the people that treated them terribly, but I was cheering Alba on the entire time. Eridany was an interesting character as well, his trauma, the way he cared for Alba and his beauty, he’s hard not to like. The banter between Alba and Eridany’s was amazing, they are both rough and not used to others being kind to them and I loved them both trying to figure out the right things to say. It took a moment for any smut to take place but once it did, it was so good. From the first scene on the beach to Alba getting Eribany on his back, it was all amazing. 

I have read the first two books in the Rowan Blood series by Kellen Graves and I enjoyed them both so much but I really feel like this was even better than those. I can’t wait to continue reading on in that series and anything else that Kellen publishes.

Tell Me Something Tuesday: Choosing your next read

   That's What I'm Talking About 's Tell Me Something Tuesday   is a weekly discussion post where bloggers discuss a wide range of topics from books and blogging to life in general.  June 17th: How do you choose what to read next? I am a big mood reader, and my mood is always changing so I typically don't follow any kind of schedule for reading - I just kind of look around at what I own and grab what sounds best. My library holds usually end up choosing for me as once I get a book up from the library, I usually want to jump right into it. I have gotten super into applying for and reading ARCs lately so deadlines for the reviews have been choosing for me lately. The time of year is also a big factor in how I choose because once September rolls around, I kick into a gear where I only wanna read horror & mystery and that won't stop until Halloween and by then I am ready for Winter and Christmas themed reads.

Tell Me Something Tuesday: How Do You Read?

That's What I'm Talking About 's Tell Me Something Tuesday   is a weekly discussion post where bloggers discuss a wide range of topics from books and blogging to life in general.  June 3rd: Paper, electronic, audio… How do you read? Has it changed in recent years? This year I sit at 75% of the books I read being physical copies and 25% being electronic which is slightly higher than normal for me - my all time stats have ebooks making up only 18% of my total reading, I think I have been on the rise this year because I have gotten into applying for and reading ARCs. I have tried multiple times to get into audiobooks but I get distracted too easily for them. Last year I got back into going to the library and 35% of the books I have read this year have come from there instead of from my own collection of unread books.

Tell Me Something Tuesday: New To Me Authors

  That's What I'm Talking About 's Tell Me Something Tuesday   is a weekly discussion post where bloggers discuss a wide range of topics from books and blogging to life in general.  June 10th: New to me authors: who have you discovered in the past year? I have discovered so many authors that I love in the past year! I made myself pick my top five though to keep this post from ending up too long. 1. Rebecca Ross - After ages of putting it off because I was worried it would be overhyped, I read Divine Rivals in July of last year and I immediately fell in love with her writing. She has a way with words that is so whimsical. I love the worlds and characters that she creates. I have read two more of her books since Divine Rivals and have loved every single one. I really need to focus on catching up on her backlist. 2.A.B. Poranek - I discovered this author through their debut novel, Where the Dark Stands Still. Their writing is also whimsical - the world in this book was beaut...
