I am a huge lover of Bones the TV show and I have been wanting to read this series for a while. So I figured why not give this Novella a shot and see how it goes. 

It went smashingly! I love the fact of why Kathy brought Tempe to life. Why Kathy does what she does and gives us a glimpse of her job. 

I have always been a girlie who loved Anatomy & Physiology because the human body is an amazing structure. It does Soo much and keeps us going when we are hanging on by a thread. Much like many people who feel as if their rogue justice will really fix whatever is going wrong. 

I love how Tempe really brings in the science to make it make sense. Why people died the way they did, how to bring the why to the how. I absolutely cannot wait to continue this series.

I enjoyed the flashback to Tempe's first case and then cried at the present day bit at the end.

I'm very confused by the death of Larabee. Since this story is supposedly before book one, it didn't make sense to me since we see Larabee in the books that come after this in the timeline. Maybe I'm missing something?
