From Goodreads: Time is running out … the Dark that’s been chasing Syd for many lifetimes has finally caught up with her …

Sydney Roberdeau lost her parents as a young girl. Waiting for her life to start and the freedom that will come with her eighteenth birthday, Syd spends much of her time haunting the local cemetery. It is there, stretched out among the dead, that she feels most alive, most at home. Until one rainy night when Beau, Sarah and T.J. crash her ghostly sanctuary, appearing out of nowhere, turning her already inside-out world one degree past upside down.

Syd must now revisit past lives, dressing in the bodies of her previous selves … bone dressing. Her only chance to outrun the evil breathing down her neck is to face her own worst nightmares and her strongest desires. But if she can’t stay out of trouble in this life, how can she possibly fix mistakes from past lives? And just how many lives has she lived, loved and lost? What is Syd exactly, and what will she risk for the life of a man she doesn’t remember, the man she spent a lifetime with, the man she loves? Everything … including her very own life?

Bone Dressing, the first in a series of seven books, will carry Syd and Beau on an adventure that transcends life itself.

_____________________________

Bone Dressing is the story of Syd, confused and hurting, looking for her place in the world.  Found by unlikely allies in a graveyard, Syd begins to connect the dots of her past and her true identity with their help, while her adversaries comb the world looking to end her life.  This was a very interesting concept for a novel.  I was drawn into the story from the first page as Syd watches her school burn, and the story then backtracks to the events leading up to the opening scene.  This novel packs a lot of information into it, creating a non-stop action novel that will leave readers confused if they don’t pay explicit attention, especially as there is a huge character change within the novel.

This novel doesn’t give away many answers concerning Syd, her background, or the other major characters within the novel, which may frustrate readers looking for a quick explanation.  However, as this is the first novel in a series of seven, I look forward to obtaining the answers to this mysterious and intriguing series as the novels are released over time.  Three stars.

I received a copy of this novel from the author in exchange for an honest review.
