Circle of Bones

I got this title when it was free for Kindle. It isn't typical of my reading choices but I thought I'd give it a go for something different. I'm glad that I did. I enjoyed the strong female presence of Maggie Riley. She's intelligent, strong, and sexy but not infallible. I enjoyed the male protagonists as well. Cole and Theo are a great compliment to Maggie's personality. The danger and conflicts throughout the book kept my attention to the end.

The main villain is satisfyingly diabolical and remorseless. I'll leave out any detail to avoid giving anything away. I didn't particularly care for the secondary villains. Personally, I didn't feel they were as well written. Their dialogue just didn't feel natural to me. Their actions and motivations were understandable though and I think my dislike is more personal than anything.

A fair portion of the story takes place on boats. It may have been easier to follow some of the action if I had a working knowledge of boats and nautical terminology. Overall, I really enjoyed the story. There was a good amount of suspense, just enough romance, and plenty of conflict.
