Near the Bone by Christina Henry

 

The description on the book states, “A woman trapped on a mountain attempts to survive more than one kind of monster” and that is a good way to describe the book. There is some creature that is stalking the mountains where Mattie lives with her the monster of a different sort, William. The story focuses on the survival instincts of Mattie and what she must do to overcome these monsters. I felt the story was a good one and did not drag on in any parts. I wish the book focused more on the creature (as I love a good creature feature). At times William seemed a little over the top but it does work in this book. It was a good and quick read. 3 out of 5 Stars.
