But if youre like me, youll appreciate that Schaeffer takes her gloves off in this one, so to speak, embracing the gruesomeness of the story and testing her characters at every turn. If youre easily squeamish when it comes to blood or severed body parts, Not Even Bones may not be the novel for you. When her mother returns from a hunting expedition with a living, breathing young man as a prisoner, bent on selling his body parts one piece at a time, Nita must decide what kind of person she is going to be. Nita finds conversing with the dead far easier than with the living, but this way of life has kept her in part ignorant of the world outside. Nita has spent years dissecting bodies and helping her mother sell various parts of unnaturals, humans with strange abilities that can be both deadly and odd, on the black market. Rebecca Schaeffers Not Even Bones is a bloody romp which explores morality in a world that has little room for things like mercy.
