Thank you so much for the ARC for this book!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this, and was worried having not read the first book in the series, but it didn’t hinder the reading process at all! I love a thriller so much and when they go into the he realms of medical thriller I find it so fascinating, can I be 100% that everything is anatomically correct? No I have no clue, but do I care? No, because this book was sooooo interesting an enjoyable to read! That being said it probably is all correct as I’m sure the author has researched everything haha

I also love when they delve into the mindset of the culprit with chapters from their point of view, very ABC Murders, and I love getting that perspective and also from a Huge fan point love seeing tricks that Agatha Christie used in other people’s writing, showing just how far her influence really carries
Long story short, if you want a captivating thriller that will leave you with a twist where you can’t wait for the next in the series, you’re in the right place with this book!!

I want to thank NetGalley, the publisher, and author Carrie Rubin for providing me with an ARC of The Bone Hunger.

This was such an enjoyable book! I love anything involving the medical field, especially books, so I jumped on this one when I saw it. I have not read the first in the series, but that didn’t hurt my understanding of this novel. The characters were executed well, you could tell this was well researched, and the fast pace made it hard to put it down. I am so glad I grabbed this one.

Thank you again to those named above for providing me with an ARC of this novel!

I read the first book in the series, The Bone Curse, and really liked it, so I was happy to see there was a new one. No voodoo this time around, but Ben gets caught up in something else weird. It's three years later, he's matured a bit, and he's enjoying being a father and an orthopedic surgery resident. But then the severed legs of his patients start turning up, and things get ugly for him again. 

I had trouble putting it down. I loved the thriller aspect but also the whodunit mystery angle. Was happy to see Laurette is back too. Fans of medical thrillers will enjoy it, even if they haven’t read the first one. It stands on its own. Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC.

I haven't read medical fiction in years, and I'm glad that I chose The Bone Hunger to start doing so again.

The series is coined as a medical thriller, which is in a way, accurate, but it is also has more than that. Above everything, I feel like the aspect that touched me the most was love. Ben's love for the people around him was genuinely heartwarming to read about. I have to admit that I haven't read the first book in the series because this works as a stand-alone, and I saw people having mixed feelings about Ben in the previous book, but I really liked Ben's character in this one. He's obviously a man of science, and we get to see him being unable to accept certain theories regarding the situation but he could also compromise with concepts that he's not familiar with. I'd even say that given everything that happened in this whirlwind of a book, he behaved relatively well. He's brave, stupidly loyal (almost made me yell at a certain scene because I'm sceptical and would have never done what he did) and above all, he's just a really good man who has his priorities straight on what matters at the end which is his family.

There's also a second POV of the culprit which was interesting and will make you wonder who could have possibly severed and chomped on all of those limbs. Also, there's an unexpected twist right at the end. I would definitely be waiting for the next book in the series!

It's a very fast paced book and it is very much possible to finish it in one sitting (which I miraculously didn't, this time). The medical aspects are well researched, and it wouldn't be too confusing or difficult for readers without any medical background to understand. I would recommend this to everyone, it was truly an enjoyable read.

This book has a bit of everything, and I was absolutely enthralled with it.

I have not read the first in the series when I came across The Bone Hunger.  But I was intrigued. So I picked it up. I liked it. It kept my interest and was a fresh story.
