I really wanted to like this book. Although the book started out with a good opening scene (very well-written and of the type that makes you feel you're in the room), after that the pacing didn't just slow, it stopped. Jack Hawthorne, the protagonist, is asked by a billionaire to find Elisha's Bones. Jack isn't execting to actually find them, and is quite skeptical about the whole affair. In short, Jack wasn't very excited about looking for or finding Elisha's bones. And at 27% of the way through the book (according to Kindle), I wasn't very excited about it either. The author failed to make the reader feel invested in the search, or to care whether anyone actually finds Elisha.

At some point, I may try to go back and finish it, but every time I try to pick it up again, all I can think about is that there's books out there that DO make me keep turning the pages, and those are the books I would rather spend my time reading.

Kim I have my Kindle open to the book now and after reading your review I looked down and mine is at 27% also LOL! I couldn't have said it better. Perhaps I'll get back to it someday but this has taken me a long time to even get almost 1/3 of the way through.

Glad it's not just me! And how crazy is it that you were in the exact same spot?!
