Have you ever finished a book and after you finished it you had to sit it down and take a deep breath? Yeah, that was me with Break the Bodies, Haunt the Bones.
It's a book unlike any other I've ever read before in my life.
The story centers around Jane, her brother Henry, her mom, dad, her boyfriend, an invasion of pig people, and ghosts.
The ghost that haunts Henry has the ability to make things unlike anyone has ever seen. Henry's latest experiment was the pig people. He actually managed to make walking, talking pigs.
Because they're different, this causes tension between the townsfolk and the ghosts feed off of it.
I don't know how to explain it other than to say that this book is heavy. Heavy on both my heart and my mind. An overall theme is "feelings" and my oh my are there so many of them. And you feel all of the feelings our characters are feeling right along with them. It's hard not to.
Hicks has the ability to pluck your heart out of your chest. He did with me during so many scenes in this book.
So many times I wanted to reach in and give some sort of comfort to Jane or Henry or the pig people. I even felt bad for the ghosts.
If you're looking for a book that's "different" because you're tired of the same old recycled ideas, pick this one up. At first you'll wonder how in the world you came to hold the book in your hands, then realize it's what you needed all along.
You can purchase the book from Amazon here.
