    About this audiobook

    An RT Reviewers’ Choice Award Finalist, Romantic Suspense.

    Alone is the fourth book in Bone Secrets, the multimillion-copy bestselling series.

    One rainy night in the woods outside of Portland, Dr. Victoria Peres is called to the site of a haunting crime scene. Six beautiful young girls—all in white dresses and arranged in a perfect circle—have been left for dead. Only one girl, fighting for her life at a nearby hospital, has survived the carnage. Things get stranger still when Victoria and the police discover that the disturbing arrangement of the bodies—as meticulous as it is mysterious—is straight from the pages of a decades-old cold case. Victoria is called on to do what she does best, read the bones of the dead for clues…while dealing with the surprise return of her first love, medical examiner Seth Rutledge. Only this time she must figure out how the two cases, fifty years apart, are connected.

    In the fourth book in her heart-pounding Bone Secrets series, bestselling author Kendra Elliot sends readers on a dark and thrilling journey as forensic anthropologist Victoria Peres races to solve a horrific new case while confronting the secrets of her past.

      Just when I thought I had it figured out, nope! Thought I had it figured out again and again I was wrong. Kept me on the edge of my seat.

      Alone was not as good as the first three books in the Bone Series. I read in the acknowledgements that the author did not originally intend to tell Victoria's story and that comes through in the book. The story jumps around between the mystery and the romance, and they never really come together until the last few pages. The romance also jumps back and forth from the present and past in awkward places which makes it difficult to form an emotional connection between the reader and the characters. Overall this was a decent read but doesn't live up to the standard set by the first three books in the series.

      Alone
      3 Stars

      Forensic anthropologist, Victoria Peres is called in to assist when the bodies of several young girls are found in the woods and the case is connected to a decades old investigation. Victoria's life is made all the more difficult when the new medical examiner is revealed to be Seth Rutledge, the only man to ever get under Tori's skin. Can the two resolve their  issues and work together to solve the case?
       
      The mystery has potential, but is undermined by the tedious romance.
       
      Victoria and Seth's second chances romance is not appealing mainly due to the lack of chemistry as well as the circumstances that led to their initial break-up. The reasons Seth gives for his actions are illogical and Victoria is far too forgiving given his choices. The fact that Seth married a woman who cheated on him and stayed with her for 18 years puts a significant damper on their rekindled relationship. 
       
      The mystery seems more of an afterthought and Victoria's personal connection to the case is contrived. In addition, the information on the cult is lacking foundation and the writing is characterized by excessive retrospective telling and insufficient showing. There are also too many inconsistencies in characterization and plotting.
       
      All in all, a disappointing installment in an otherwise entertaining series.

      Thriller. Bone Secrets 4. Forensic anthropologist Victoria and 6 dead girls in white dresses. OK- 
    • 4/5
      Dr. Victoria Peres is an forensic anthropologist working for the Portland Medical Examiner. She is reserved, serious, and rather intimidating. She prefers to keep people at arm's length. But things change abruptly when Dr. Seth Rutledge applies to be the new medical examiner. Seth and Tori have a history. They fell in love in college but split up when Seth decided that he had to marry the mother of his child despite the fact that she broke up with him and didn't tell him the child was his until her current relationship broke up. They have been apart for eighteen years and have both built lives and careers.Seth and Tori get involved in a case that mirrors a case from 50 years in the past. Young women with long dark hair are found dead posed in a circle in the forest. In the first case, three of the six young woman had never been identified. Luckily, the bones had been kept and now Tori is trying to identify them. This time one of her young neighbor's friends is one of the victims. And Tori finds strange connections to her life too. She was adopted, raised by loving parents, but has questions about her birth parents. It looks like the first victims had a connection to the same church that was instrumental in her adoption.The parts of the story told from the viewpoint of the villains were particularly chilling. It took me a while to realize that we were hearing from two different villains. I liked all the connections that were revealed between Tori's young friend and the cult that was responsible for the various murders. I liked that very realistic relationship between Tori and Seth. I liked that Tori was hesitant to initiate a new relationship with the man who broke her heart. I also liked Seth's persistence in convincing Tori that this time nothing could come between them. The story was thrilling, chilling, and romantic. I recommend it to all fans of romantic suspense.
