Book Review: Gilda Joyce - The Bones of the Holy

The Bones of the Holy by Jennifer Allison (Gilda Joyce series)

**This book will be released on 6/9/11.**

This week, amidst the craziness, I read the galley version of Gilda Joyce - The Bones of the Holy. It has to be the most thrilling - and creepy - out of all five of Gilda's investigations. The main plot line (a summary from the back) is that Mrs. Joyce is being remarried to a man by the name of Eugene Pook - whose personality matches his name. Mr. Pook, an antiques shop owner, has a very shady past. His ex-fiance left him to supposedly go to Europe. But is she really there or is Eugene hiding a dark secret?

In the chilling setting of St. Augustine, Florida, there are plenty of ghosts. Jennifer Allison uses a lot of things from history too, from mentions of the KKK to histories of families and early settlings dating back to the 1500s! Combining American history, which can be very boring, and Gilda's spunky attitude, this book is a winner! I can't wait to read it again in June!

Book Review: The Gilda Joyce Series

The Gilda Joyce series is perfect for anyone who enjoys suspenseful stories with some ghosts, but at the same time, isn't that scary. Jennifer Allison portrays a young girl who is a self-proclaimed psychic investigator. Although Gilda's character is in her early teens, she is a very sophisticated investigator. There are currently four installments in the series: Gilda Joyce: Psychic Investigator, The Ladies of the Lake, The Ghost Sonata, and The Dead Drop. Pick up this book today for a great read!
