Sometimes you're reading a novel and you're 30% through it and only then realize that you still don't have a clue about what the book is about. That happened to me with Chest of Bone.

I expected something more of a fantasy novel, but it was more or less a murder mystery with some fantasy elements thrown into it. This is not necessarily a bad thing of course, as I certainly like my murder mysteries from time to time. However, the writing was also quite strange. I can't really explain it but felt different, and I think it was one of the reasons why I couldn't get into the story for a long time.

The story itself was quite interesting (mostly the part about the 'exotic' food) but the main ideas have been done before, a number of times. The jury is still out whether or not to continue with this series in the future.

Thanks to the publisher for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!… (mer)

The first thing I have read by this author and I really did enjoy it.
Altered is the first book in a new series later books will explore what happens to Kitlyns sisters Bree and Sybi.
Kitlyn a fifty-eight-year-old retired circus performer with Huntington's finds herself transported to a parallel world Eleutia and remade by the Alchemists as a made-one.
basically, the best version of herself with all her genetics corrected and in a much younger body.
The Elautians females are dying out and they need breeding stock hence the made ones.
Kit is taken in by the wolf clan and adopted into the pack.
Deeply fascinated by Rafe the wolf clan champion Kit starts to grow closer to him as he covertly courts her but with so much worry over her sister's current whereabouts Kit also has other things cluttering up her mind.
Add to the fact that Kit seems to be in danger from various multiple sources also a jealous rival for Rafe's affections and the Kat clan breathing down there necks this one was definitely ramped.
This is told from various POV and is also quite a lengthy read.
In terms of the romance, this is quite slow burn but this did work.
I am looking forward to picking up this story again in book two which will follow Kits sister Bree.
This one gets a thumbs up from me I really did enjoy myself.
I voluntary reviewed a copy of Altered: The Made Ones Saga Book 1.
