I received this book for free from Author, MTMC Tours in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
When life serves up lemons, making lemonade seems easy.
But what do you do when college plans are dashed and a remote island near the Canadian border becomes home?
Nova Lennox knows one don't befriend the locals, especially not the charming one with a cute dimple.
But as she settles into a new life with the family she’s never met, she begins to realize this seemingly idyllic place holds dark secrets.
Google Street View? Nonexistent.
A lurking wolf? Potentially dangerous.
And when a body is discovered in the woods, the real question what hides in the shadows of this mysterious island?
***
Join this grumpy yet transforming young woman, her sunshine/cinnamon roll boyfriend (who’s not exactly human), and a cocky fae warrior in an epic slowburn fantasy adventure. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer L. Armentrout and for those who’ve longed for a mature Twilight experience (without vampires).

Why you need to read Days of Flesh & Bone
Picture this: an island with a luscious dark green forest, small quaint towns, stunning sceneries and otherworldly vibes. Aah, I absolutely loved the setting of Days of Flesh & Bone!!
Unfortunately our MC is not too thrilled to get to live for several months in Crescendo Island and I honestly don’t blame her. After being on a car crash caused by her mother, she lost her job and missed her chance of entering college in Seattle along with her best friend Lilly. Feeling dejected and left behind, there is nothing else for Nova to do but to accept her new life with her distant relatives that she just met. It also doesn’t help that she is used to the busy city life and now she arrives in one small town in the island with no WiFi (yikes!!). But her distant family were super kind to her from day one (loved Sage!) and that made things far easier for Nova.
There was constantly an air of mystery to the island and I was invested to learn about the strange occurrences happening in it. I LOVED, getting to read about Aelaterra. It’s a magical land that you can only enter through a passageway. Nova gets to experience this land thanks to Killian, her love interest and he’s such a sweet cinnamon roll of a character, impossible not to love!
And speaking of fantastic characters, I must mention Nova’s aunt Jasmin and cousin Sage. They completely came to her rescue when she needed help the most plus I absolutely loved their family dynamics! She also finds several friends on the island and I was happy to see that even though Nova was a bit awkward & disheartened at the beginning of the story, she had people that made her feel welcomed and at ease.
I really enjoyed Days of Flesh & Bone, it has magic, supernatural creatures, shapeshifting wolves, the found family trope, slow burn romance, lots of action scenes and an intricate world-building! Plus the ending left me intrigued to know more about Nova’s family background story. Super excited to see what comes next!!
