I wasn't sure about how I was going to feel reading this story but I was very pleasantly surprised. There were lots of twists and turns, things that has a recurring that I least expected it. Its,Characters are both well flushed out with good parts and ba d parts. You find yourself really liking some of them and really disliking some of the others. And interesting undertone especially in this had me bit surprised, but done very well and very thorough. I definitely plan on reading more by this author as her I really enjoy her writing style and the way she flushes out her characters. Next line I would like to thank of the author/the publisher/netgalley for the opportunity to read this book and the hopes that I am open to read more books by them.

I strongly recommend this book, I first love the cover and I saw some magic was involved in the main story.

The characters is this book are atypical and really sweet, the story is simple but efficient, you become really involved and all type of feelings are coming your way during your reading (anger, choke, sadness and finally happiness).
This book is a page turner ans I always said that black cat are good luck.

Your past is somewhat always entanagked with your future. Live for now but know actions have consequences. I loved this story and the characters. So much happens to them that has happened in my own life. I became an orphan at 30 years old, lost my mother when I was 14, raised by my father, luckily mine was amazing and understanding. I felt for the character in her push and pull relationship. I definitly recommend!!!

I received a copy of this book in exchange for a review.

This was another hate-read for me. The description of the book sounded promising but the novel fell flat.

I really disliked the endless references to religion and christianity. I am not religious and had I known that this book had heavy religious overtones, I would not have read it. It seems like the author couldn't decide if this book was going to be a mystery, an LGBTQ novel, or a religious novel so they just crammed it all into one disjointed story.

Dr Emily Norton is an aspiring intern at a Catholic hospital. After her old, lonely eccentric neighbour loans her an amulet, he warns her not to take it off or scorn it in any way, as it has magical properties capable of bringing her good or bad fortune. Although Emily works at a Catholic hospital, her faith is a little lacking, because she ignores the old man's warning and refuses to wear it. Soon after, she loses her fiancé, loses her job, and is blamed for a patient's suicide. Emily can no longer chalk her worsening luck up to coincidence, she has to go beyond her own reasoning and consider that maybe, just maybe, the amulet is magical after all.

More Than Bones by Craig David Singer is his first novel. And as a physician, he is more than apt at describing life as a medical intern. His experience brings about a realism to the novel that otherwise may not exist due to the almost fairy-tale like premise of the plot. I sincerely enjoyed reading about Dr Emily Norton as she treats patient after patient with a familiarity that is comforting to the reader.

Although the author's narrative is nicely imperative, directing the story expertly with a continuous whimsical undertone, I did find it a little lacking, I found Emily quite stoic, and not lovably so. I found it hard to relate myself to any of the characters inside the novel, although I did find their side stories engaging. Although I personally couldn't connect with any of the characters, it was clear through the writing how pragmatic and likeable the author wants them to come across. I believe other readers will be able to connect much more with this book and its characters than I did.

One of my favourite things about this novel is how almost everyone is assumed gay unless told otherwise. I found it intriguing because it does not reflect real life; as everybody is aware, in this day and age, you are thought of as straight unless you say otherwise. So, it was a really refreshing twist and I love what the author is trying to do; flip normalities to bring about an even more accepting understanding between human beings and their orientation. I wildly admire that about this book.

The premise of the plot is intriguing, but didn't grip me entirely, I lost some interest around the halfway mark due to the internal torturous dialogue of the protagonist. For that reason I feel that this is a 3/5 stars, although I hope that other readers give it a chance and enjoy it more than I did.

Thank you to Net Galley for an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.
