In the Bone there is a house.

In the house there is a girl.

In the girl there is a darkness.

Margo is not like other girls. She lives in a derelict neighborhood called the Bone, in a cursed house, with her cursed mother, who hasn’t spoken to her in over two years. She lives her days feeling invisible. It’s not until she develops a friendship with her wheelchair-bound neighbor, Judah Grant, that things begin to change. When neighborhood girl, seven-year-old Neveah Anthony, goes missing, Judah sets out to help Margo uncover what happened to her.

What Margo finds changes her, and with a new perspective on life, she’s determined to find evil and punish it–targeting rapists and child molesters, one by one.

But hunting evil is dangerous, and Margo risks losing everything, including her own soul.

Review

Absolutely loved this book by Tarryn Fisher!! It was my first time reading anything by her and she has a new fan in me! I normally stay away from the darker reads but something about the synopsis made me want to read. I am so happy I went with my gut and gave this book a chance. This book def isn’t for the faint of heart. There are a lot of disturbing moments but it’s real life. I’m glad Fisher didn’t gloss over everything and made it sunshine and roses.Bad things happen and life isn’t perfect . In life there isn’t always a happy ending. Margo lives in a town called Marrow nicknamed The Bone. She has a hooker for a mother, who always puts her down.Her father isn’t in the picture. Margo is pretty much a loner and sticks to herself. One day a little girl is killed and Margo gets fed up. She pissed, she’s angry and wants justice but knows there will never be any. So she decides enough is enough and seeks out her own justice. Margo embarks on a vigilante killing spree. I honestly enjoyed the concept of this story line. It had me at the edge of my seat and I couldn’t put the book down. There was a twist in the book that still has me reeling. I am so happy I stepped outside my comfort zone and read this book.
