Bad Bones
Bad Bones: A Fun, Fast-Paced Urban Fantasy: Blood and Magic Book One | Lauretta Hignett
1 post | 1 read
Fabulous superpowers? Check.Strong urge to right wrongs and bring villains to justice? Check.Impulse control problems? Check. Your girl's got a brand new job. And Washington D.C. does not know what's going to hit it. Okay, I might be seriously under-qualified for the job of Enforcer, I'll admit. The Enforcer is supposed to be a human, for starters. It's usually an ex-special forces guy with big muscles and even bigger balls, and a knack for sorting out petty squabbles between the witches and vampires and shifters in the city. And I'm just a technically-dead nail tech - an animated skeleton with a talent for illusion magic and gold gel manicures. But I've recently discovered that I can manifest some pretty big muscles of my own. I've already got the big balls, so I'm halfway there. It's the 'sorting out petty squabbles' part that I might have trouble with. I'm usually the one to start the fights, not finish them. But a girl has got to grow up sometime. With great power, yada yada yada. My first job is finding a missing person - a half-pixie girl vanished from her home a week ago, and if she doesn't surface soon, the local Fae diplomat is going to raise Hell. Her father is blaming vampires, her boyfriend is pointing the finger at the local werewolves. The clock is ticking. I'm determined to find her alive, and prove to the supes of D.C. that I've got what it takes to keep this town on the straight-and-narrow. Bad Bones is book one in Blood and Magic, a fun, fast-paced, feel-good urban fantasy series.

I was looking for something a little different than I've been reading lately when I stumbled across Bad Bones. It's the start to an urban fantasy series that follows a reanimated skeleton woman named Prue. Without spoiling too much she died as a small child but her mom was a witch who couldn't let her go. As she got older a woman gives her a magical gift to look human again so she can have a normal life.

RedxoHearts It turns out the gift let's her transform her body and clothes into anything she can picture in her mind. Now that would be a handy talent to have! In Bad Bones Prue has just landed a new job as "The Enforcer" for the supernatural community after losing her job as a Nail Artist. 6mo
RedxoHearts She's dropped into a big first assignment. Along the way she frees a Goth Flower Pixie who becomes her sidekick in solving the case. We also meet her werewolf Max and some of his shifters he has taken in to care for. Plus throw in having to track someone down in an...supernatural adult dungeon club. 6mo
RedxoHearts It all sounds strange but that's part of the charm I think. I quite enjoyed it and finished it in a day. I think if you liked the Charley Davidson series by Darynda Jones or Hailey Edward's urban fantasy books you would like this. 6mo
