The Bone Thief's Tale

Written by Heleen Davies

Narrated by Meg Price and C.J. Grey

Introducing a newly reimagined tale written in the vein of The Little Mermaid meeting Hades and Persephone.

Bound to steal her queen magical bones, thief Lynne knows only one mistake equals death. And yet, she dreams of living in the forbidden world upon the surface, hating every minute in the Underworld. When she secretly develops a crush on a human, she loses a bone in his realm and has no choice but to strike a deal with the only one who could help—an evil witch. To save her life, she must earn the man’s love and bring back the bone in 99 days.

Rio Renero is a notorious gang leader in Chicago and his life has been set to one purpose—to get back at his enemies. With a mysterious, beautiful girl showing up on his doorstep, he sees the solution to his machinations. She offers him a chance at a deadly heist that could destroy all his enemies. In return, he must help her steal a book. What a cinch.

As Lynne and Rio dig deep into a dark net of politics, magic and passion, they need to learn to trust each other.

Not so easy, considering they’re not quite sure whether to kiss or kill each other.

introducing a newly reimagined tale written in the vein of The Little Mermaid meeting Hades and Persephone, plus mafia, politics, magic and passion.

The book cover attracted me

the best part is we can hear the "little mermaid"'s thoughts. she is a bone thief, but she can write and text and reacts to the world naturally with surprise; she doesn't know our world, music, phones, cars, people, everything is confusing to her. It was fun, book two here I come =)

4 stars for the narrators. Especially the guy, he sounded like a gangster. I liked the pop references here and there and the start was good. Nice and dark in the underworld. But then the middle is just this flirting boringness. I hated it so much.. maybe if I was 20-30 I would’ve liked it. At the end, the way things wrapped up was interesting. Although a bit predictable at the end. I’m sorry but I can’t love it.
