About this listen

An Amazon Charts bestseller.

There’s more than one way to stoke the flames of revenge...

Charlotte Rowe spent the first seven years of her life in the hands of the only parents she knew—a pair of serial killers who murdered her mother and tried to shape Charlotte in their own twisted image. If only the nightmare had ended when she was rescued. Instead, her real father exploited her tabloid-ready story for fame and profit—until Charlotte finally broke free from her ghoulish past and fled. Just when she thinks she has buried her personal hell forever, Charlotte is swept into a frightening new ordeal. Secretly dosed with an experimental drug, she’s endowed with a shocking new power—but pursued by a treacherous corporation desperate to control her.

Except from now on, if anybody is going to control Charlotte, it’s going to be Charlotte herself. She’s determined to use the extraordinary ability she now possesses to fight the kind of evil that shattered her life—by drawing a serial killer out from the shadows to face the righteous fury of a victim turned avenger.

I can't wait for the next book in the series. I couldn't wait to finish and find out the ending.

captivating

I kept waiting for this book to get good, but it never really took off for me. I think you’ve gotta be a fan of the love story (a weak one at that) in order to connect with the main character at all. Would only recommend if this is one of your go-to genres.

Drawn out & anti-climactic

I will be buying books from companies that are not pushing their political agenda in the future.

Good book. Audible needs to stay out of politics.

chilling

I decided to try this book because I loved A Density of Souls when I was a kid, and this was a book by Christopher Rice that seemed pretty popular. i liked the concept and I mostly liked the main character, but I do feel like there was some pretty decent build up that didn't resolve totally satisfyingly, in my opinion. It was fine, but didn't leave a lasting impact. Of course this is just my opinion, I always want to support creative works and if you're even slightly considering this, I'd say go for it.

It was fairly entertaining

Fabulous!!! Once you begin, you are immediately consumed from early morning. throughout the day until you sleep.

You won't be able to put this book down.

This book was surprisingly unique and clever. Really original thinking. I plan to read the next two in the series, but not until I recover a little!

Unique plot

Bone Music was bomb #2 of my three-month Kindle Unlimited extravaganza. It was cheesy and boring, there was no depth to the story, and the writing was bland. Surprisingly the grammar was decent, which is so rare in these days of indie publications, so props for that, but good grammar doesn't make a book interesting, just palatable.

I'm usually all about sci-fi thrillers, especially books about badass women, but this one never connected with me. It may be because I was listening to the audio version and ugh, what an unlikable narrator! Her voice, accents and pronunciations drove me batty, to the point where I hated the story when actually I was just hating her voice. Narration can make or break a novel, and that's what happened here. It didn't just break, it shattered into a million frustrating pieces.

In TV shows and films, casting agents look for chemistry, and I believe in audio books there should be chemistry too. Reading should be just like acting. Every author should strive to find the kind of chemistry John Scalzi and Wil Wheaton have as author and narrator. I often feel, as I did listening to Bone Music, that any old narrator was plucked out of the pool, chemistry be damned. Or did Christopher Rice lose a bet? Owe a family friend a favor? In this case, the narrator is so haughty sounding, I can't imagine she'd have chemistry with *any* book. She and her over-enunciations certainly had anti-chemistry with this one.

It's not her fault, but I am definitely putting Lauren Ezzo on my 'never listen' shelf, and that includes actually finishing Bone Music. I can't. I just can't.

Terrible pairing of a narrator with a book
