The one time she adheres to her morals sets a series of unfortunate events in motion that will have Nita questioning whether she’s as monstrous as the bodies she dissects on her table.įirstly, this is one of the best books I’ve read all year. That’s a line she isn’t willing to cross. She doesn’t bother to think about her morality in all of this until her mother brings her a live specimen. Nita has always been able to keep herself detached from it all. Not Even Bones tells the story of Nita, who dissects supernatural beings and their body parts are then sold on the internet by her mother. It is different than any other paranormal fantasy I’ve ever read.
It is the first book in the Market of Monsters series. Not Even Bonesby Rebecca Schaefferis YA paranormal fantasy. This is one of the books that captured my attention from the first page. The tone of the art also illustrates Nita’s isolation and confusion in an unsavory world her mother has forced upon her.I have so many feelings about this book.
The clean lines and somber colors create a mysterious backdrop for the creepy, shady family business.
The series features art by Alai Cinereo, which perfectly sets the dark, moody tone of the narrative. This monster boy’s parts in particular also mean mega bucks for her, and Nita is now faced with a big decision: abide her mother or choose the moral high ground. Usually the monsters are dead when Nita gets them for dissection, but when her mother brings home a living specimen the girl is overwhelmed with sympathy, something her mother won’t tolerate. Our protagonist, Nita, is torn between what is morally right (even when dealing with monsters) and what her emotionally abusive mother wants. Nita doesn’t have much of a choice in the matter, especially when her mother uses psychological warfare to manipulate her daughter into doing what she’s told.īased on the first installment of the critically acclaimed young adult series Market of Monsters by Rebecca Schaeffer, the comic is written and adapted by Stephen Lamm, and introduces a universe of supernatural beings living alongside humans and a sordid underworld where their magical bodies are worth thousands, if not millions. Unfortunately for her, it’s her mother’s business and the woman takes great pleasure in making money off magical organs, appendages, and more. In Not Even Bones, Nita doesn’t really want to hunt and dissect supernatural beings so that their parts can be sold on the black market.
