Angel Svabodina is a rookie forensic anthropologist, enjoying the beginning of her new career. That joy comes crashing down when she figures out the skeleton she’s working on is not human and then it vanishes.She throws herself fully into the case without thinking about the parties involved, a psychopomp associate, and paranormal mafia families made up of vampires and werewolves—or the … consequences.
When she sees there’s no avoiding the inevitable, Angel has to suck it up and work with the werewolves to solve the case but can she trust them?
Werewolves and witches are in a centuries-old feud, but that doesn’t stop the shivers running down her spine from one wolf in particular. Rights and wrongs become blurred, as she is tormented by her past and accepting who she truly is while searching for the skeleton. What’s more, nothing comes for free, including information. To get what she needs from the werewolf don, Angel has to meet with the fae queen. Can she meet her without repercussions and solve the case?

I don’t always re-read books, but when I do, I make sure they are as good as The Scented Bones! There’s there’s additional content in this version, and it just added to the story. I am absolutely in love with the content of this story and had so much fun revisiting this world!
If you’re a paranormal fan, Angelina Kerner has your back with this one. Shape-shifter, werewolves, vampires, witches, all in a unique world.
I love the characters Angelina Kerner has created. They feel so real, I almost forgot they aren’t! Every character has unique back stories and personalities. My favorite character is probably Angel, but I loved them all.
I highly recommend checking this one out. And if you’ve already read it, The Scented Bones is worth a re-read!
*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.*
Vampire, witches, werewolves, and fae? What is not to like about this book? You will love the characters and keep reading well into the night to find out what happens next in this paranormal thriller. I am looking forward to many more books in this series and glad I found it at the beginning.
This book has a great and very original storyline. Is along the paranormal lines and involves finding the souls of the lost by finding their bones. The best part, I thought, was at the end of the book. There is a couple family trees and drawings of the main characters, when they are regular people, and what they look like as their paranormal selves. Also says their heights, their likes etc.
A digital book worth every penny!
Last night, I finished The Scented Bones. Loved it! I was hooked before I read through the first chapter and if it wasn’t for adulting, I would not have put it down. Paranormal and mystery, two of my favorite genres, with a touch of romance to keep it all the more interesting. The story kept up the pace, never lagging so not once did I skip to get to another part … I really don’t like it when I have to do that. Get this book, you will fall in love with the story and the characters, like I did.
My question, Angelina Kerner … how long must one wait for the next book? I am not a patient lady.
*edit*
I loved this book so much I purchased a copy in hard bound, I have not bought a physical book in 8 years.
This book was given to me for an honest review.
Angel is a blood witch, but she had her grandmother seal off her powers 3 years ago. It looks like Angel is going to need them whether she wants them or not.
First off, it has a cliffhanger ending, so be prepared. This story has many different paranormal beings, I like the variety. The heroine has get back her witch magic (that she doesn’t want), find out why her skeleton went missing, confront heads of the mafia. This young women has a lot on her plate to solve the mystery. I think the twist towards the end is going to be interesting in book 2 considering the belief our heroine holds.
This was an entertaining and refreshing change in a paranormal book!! The characters are defined early and are memorable. The story although serious, is humorous and easy to follow, not like most mafia type novels. Angels bone disappear off her autopsy table! Who took them? The good of bad guys?? Very entertaining and enjoyable!!!
Werewolves, witches and vampires, a paranormal mafia- oh my! The story features Angel, a unique forensic anthropologist who also happens to be a witch. Her case involving missing bones of a supernatural victim makes an interesting, entertaining mystery. This mundane loved it and highly recommends spending an afternoon in Angel’s world.
The Scented Bones by Angelina Kerner is an adrenaline junkies dream. With witches, mafia, werewolves, shapeshifers and the like just imagine what trouble you could get into. Imagine dealing with the mob…and findingout they aren’t human. When Angel finds the body on her table isn’t human but a fae girl who was left where everyone would find her..someone wants to start a war. The unusual plot and storyline keeps this book refreshing and enjoyable. Character development is outstanding and you want to know what happens next. This was an enjoyable read and I will be watching this author for future work.
Magical! Murder, mystery and mates… a fun urban paranormal mafia suspense that was unique and interesting to read. I enjoyed the different characters and creatures.
Angel is a forensic anthropologist and a witch. She’s studying a skeleton when she discovers that it isn’t human and then it vanishes. Working with a psychopomp and werewolves will prove challenging, if not deadly. Will the victim have justice or will Angel join them?
This is a great, fast paced, mystery that I could not put down. The plot is tightly woven, with intriguing characters, and a mystery that kept me guessing. I enjoyed this book and following along as the clues were put together.
Overall rating: 4.6
I am a huge fan of a certain similar TV series so thus storyline with paranormal characters elevated my interest. Of course this authors ability to breathe life into these characters quickly captured my attention and I disappeared into the pages happily. There are crap loads of intriguing situations and details so needless to say, I want more ! A wonderful read that I am glad I have been exposed to! All my reviews are always voluntarily written.
4 out of 5 stars
What do you do when you are the forensics anthropoligst and is working on a case of a dead girl and the case becomes more complicated when the girl isn’t a human but a fae . Well that is what happens to Angel Svabina and she is thrown into a world of werewolves and vampires oh and the mafia familes they represent . When the bones are stolen and she has to work with werewolves will she loose her heart to her mate and will she solve the case without ticking off the Fae Queen .
I dove into this book and instantly fell in love with Angel, she is so spunky and sassy in her own way . She is strong and also kick butt , you will love it when she comes into her power when grandma shows up to help her get her powers back . Oh did I tell you she is also a witch . There is her best friend Laura who is well a mundane but is a really fun mundane . She is funny and oh so accepting of Angel and what she is and she is also the driving force of getting Angel out of her head and into life. Oh my there is a lot of testosterone in this book . So many good looking men from Lorenzo to Gage . They are all hot and sexy but also there is more to them then meets the eye . We have werewolves and demons and vampires . OH YEAH
You know when you sit down and start a book about paranormal like werewolves and witches it usually gets really heavy , this book doesn’t do that its a light and full of mystery and you will love the characters . You don’t get bogged down with a lot of angst in this book The characters are well developed and you will love each one . I couldn’t help but laugh through out this book Angel and the Fae queens court scene is hilarious . I won’t go into details but you will laugh so hard . I truly enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read other cases that they will be involved in and if Gage and Angel actually get together and maybe get their happily ever after . So if you want a book that isn’t bogged down in angst this is the book for you
The Scented Bones was a fun read which I couldn’t put down until the last page and Angel, made for a great lead character! I could tell the author put a lot of research into the forensic and other parts of the story.
I especially loved all the interesting characters and all the paranormal infusion. There were some great twists that left me craving for more books in the “Svabodina Case Files” collection.
