Kate Miller has been having recurring dreams about the same
man . . . a dead man. Will Hawke, to be exact, a celebrity who died long before
Kate had any reason to pay attention to celebrities.
While the night-world she enjoys with Will beckons, her
waking world has suddenly gotten intriguing. Ty Watts--a guy with looks that
could set a thousand housewives free--just walked into her life. He's got a
smile and a secret that begs to be found out.
But is Ty a distraction or a savior?
Kate's dreams threaten to take over. She must negotiate the
edge of reality, solve the mystery of her nightly rendezvous with Will and
either set him free or lose herself forever in the seductively dangerous world
he inhabits.
A Boat Made of Bone is a love story that spans worlds,
generations, and reaches beyond death into the realm of fantasy.

The cover was what captures my attention, but the
description was what held it. This was a great start to a series that has a lot
of potential to gain momentum as it continues. Grotepas introduces us to a very
interesting concept and follows through with an enjoyable story.
I really liked the dynamic between all the characters. They
fit well and complimented each other. Audra was a great companion for Kate to
have and was one of my favorites. I must say that I would have liked to see
more Ty, there is just something about him that I can’t get over. The beginning
was a bit slow, but the second half of the story really picked up and held my
attention.
Overall, the reading experience was enjoyable and I look
forward to the continuation of this saga.
