The Rattled Bones eBook SM Parker
I was all in for the phenomenal THE RATTLED BONES from the first page. This book has everything I want in a story: hope, heart, mystery, friendships, families, swoon, history, atmosphere, and best of all, a kickass female MC. Sometimes you come to books and they are just the perfect book for you. This was that book for me. I was so completely immersed in the evocative world of Fairtide Cottage and Malaga Island and the coast of Maine that I felt these characters with me for weeks. I feel them still. In my bones. In my heart. On top of all of this, the story is so very timely and important as it highlights real-life events that show a dark side of America’s history that took place on Maine’s Malaga Island. The tension is built beautifully as Parker weaves this textured and layered story. You will feel like you are in Maine or on the lobster boat with Rilla or feeling the ghostly breeze along your neck hairs on Malaga Island. THE RATTLED BONES is an absolute must-read and one of my favorite books of the year.Tags : The Rattled Bones - Kindle edition by S.M. Parker.

The Rattled Bones eBook SM Parker Reviews
In The Girl Who Fell, Shannon Parker established herself as a master at weaving a compelling story in a high stakes, thrilling ride of a read. She does it again, superbly, in The Rattled Bones, where a haunting on the Maine coastline blurs the line between sanity and madness.
High school graduate Rilla has been raised by her father and grandmother. In this last summer before embarking for Brown on a full scholarship, her father's unexpected death causes Rilla to rethink her plans. But it's more than the future of her family's lobstering business weighing on her. Rilla is starting to see things - things that others can't - things that are tied to the dark and dirty history of a small island off her Maine coastline. Forcing Rilla to face a startling truth - either she's losing her grip on her sanity or she's connecting with a woman who died almost a century ago.
Parker's writing flat out stuns in this paranormal mystery. She explores Rilla's grief and loss with great sensitivity and honesty. These lines read like poetry. But it is first and foremost a thriller with a deliciously high creep element. Parker absolutely shines at scaring the bleep out of you. For me, the brilliance of this story is its layers and complexity. In Rilla's quest for the truth, Parker exposes yet another long buried incident of racial prejudice and takes a provocative look at the constraints of gender roles past and present.
Scary, thrilling, thoughtful and provocative, THE RATTLED BONES, is going to be BIG! DO NOT MISS THIS ONE!!!!
Thanks to NetGalley and Simon Pulse for the opportunity to read and review The Rattled Bones by S.M. Parker. Rilla lives with her grandmother. After her father dies, she’s unsure about college because she worries about leaving her grandmother and she wants to keep her father’s fishing business going. The story is a bit odd but starts to pick up around chapter four when Rilla meets Sam on the small island where he’s doing research on an archeological dig. Sam knows about the Malaga Island history and he shares his research with Rilla. Rilla is worried that she’s following her mother’s footsteps because she’s seeing a ghost and hearing her voice. Rilla’s mother talked to the water people and she left her family when Rilla was very young because she wanted to keep her family safe. All Rilla knows about her mother is that she waded into the ocean with heavy rocks in her pockets weighing her down and then she admitted herself into a mental institution. Rilla has kept the apparition to herself and continues to do so until she grows comfortable enough with Sam to confide in him. She also needs his help to keep herself safe and to figure out the ghostly mystery. Little by little, the two of them piece together the visions and the island’s history and uncover a tragic event that connects Rilla and her family to Malaga Island. I love it when authors share their research with readers and explain their reasoning behind the story they’ve created. When a book is based on historical facts, I always want to dive into the research and study the truth that helped create the fiction. 4 stars for an intriguing story that pulled me into a lesser known part of American history.
I loved this book so much, and was hooked from the very first page!
The writing is stunning -- the way the author was able to describe things with such depth and dimension, using all of the senses. And all of the characters just came to life on the page, feeling so real, so multidimensional. And I really appreciated the way the romance element was handled -- I loved that Rilla and Sam's relationship felt natural and solid, yet he wasn't her knight in shining armor. And as great as their relationship was, I'm glad it was only one part of Rilla's larger story.
One of my favorite things about this book is the idea of how connected we all are to the past, and how sometimes you have to go back in order to understand the present (and are also often taken to the brink of sanity to get there). I thought the way all of the supernatural elements were handled was simply masterful. It was so creepy and chilling, yet not over the top terrifying in that way that I think a lot of paranormal/thriller books tend to be. I love books that have supernatural or paranormal elements, but it seems like it's something that's hard to do well. Here, they were perfectly balanced, with all the right kinds of tension.
And finally, I loved that we see Rilla not only being afraid and facing her fear, but embracing it -- she is such a fantastic, accessible, strong, brave, badass heroine!
