LS Hawker's Body and Bone taps perfectly into the fear of what can happen when someone targets you over the internet and won't stop until they get what they want -- the total and complete ruin of your life. The truth is that there's nowhere to hide from the all-knowing internet and the people who want to use it for destruction, and Hawker's spot-on thriller explores this to its terrifying, twisted conclusion.It's a book that rings with authenticity from its portrayal of the struggles of addiction to the challenges with dealing with your own mistakes and the people you care about -- and lie to. As with many of the best books in this genre, it's difficult to read at times because the struggles and fears of the heroine, Nessa Donati, strike so close to home. Add that to the suspense of watching Nessa live our own troll-induced nightmare and the shock of a twisted villain I never saw coming, and you've got a recipe for a page-turner you can't put down -- or walk away from without mulling it over in your mind like a too-close-to-reality nightmare.The plot was obviously well-woven and gripping, but for me, the best part of this book was its characters. Hawker has a talent for creating characters you love to hate, hate to love, and everything in between. In particular, Nessa's knife-throwing nanny, Isabeau, and self-obsessed hipster producer, Otto, were favorites for me. Her son Daltrey is also supremely well written and lovable, and that can be a challenge with a character as young as he is.In short, Body and Bone continues Hawker's tradition of twisting, shocking, resonant, and somehow hopeful line of kick-ass-female-led thrillers. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.
