Bone Island: Book of Danvers

Tales of Weeping Hollow, Book 2

De: Nicole Fiorina

Narrado por: Gail Shalan, Teddy Hamilton, Vanessa Moyen, Michael Gallagher

She craved an escape. He craved to be found. Two silent hearts thirsty, until they both drowned.

To my beloved black sea,

It was full dark when I snuck out of the castle to meet you. You wore those ripped black jeans and your new friend’s boots, with sleet from the forest still in the grooves. You moved awkwardly in your new clothes because you were still creating yourself, like one of your drawings. We drank vanilla cola from glass bottles and listened to a song about how fast the night changes over and over.

Two adults frolicking as youths, French kissing in secret to hide from winter and distract ourselves from the town crumbling around us. The way we touched each other was equally punishing and artful, painting a world where we could be together on each other’s skin. For a while, we pretended. For a while, I was the kind of woman you could be loyal to and fight for, and you weren’t the lost, forbidden Heathen. Now, it’s been days since I’ve seen you. I’ve decided long ago, and this is my last letter.

Everything I’ve worked so hard for—before you came along—will carry on as if our time together never happened. Don’t bother stopping me. As I once said, the tremor between us will only lead to carnage. But as I plunge a knife into the chest of the man I once desired to marry, I’ll think of all those foolish nights when we pretended, our time on Bone Island, vanilla cola, our stupid song, and you. Yes, my beloved black sea. I’ll think of you.

It was like reading it again for the first time, and that was truly EVERYTHING.

So- I MAYYYYY have a wee crush 🤏🏻 , but I have ZERO clues on his true identity; so there’s nothing new on that front...
I forgot how sultry this book was... and hearing it outside of my head- MAMM!!! 🔥🔥🔥 I melt.
Though this book is spicy, it is immensely emotional, beyond romantic, and just all-consuming. It's so unbelievably immersive; I was transported to Bone Island right alongside Stone & Adora. It was like reading it again for the first time, and that was truly EVERYTHING.

If you haven’t yet started this series, what are you waiting for??
Nicole pours her soul into literally everything she puts out, and that can be felt from this production - the cast was PERFECTION. If you love audiobooks, this one is a must!

A Love Story That Will Break You and Heal You Back Together

I really like Book of Blackwell, and I was uncertain if I'd like a book about different characters. Don't let that hold you back. The love that is born on Bone Island is heart wrenching and beautiful, and honestly, a thousand times better than the first book. I loved this book!

Wow- an extremely well written story

This was an excellent book. Wonderful writing, wonderful narration. captivating 'til the end. The love scenes were easily some of the best, most well written I've ever heard. Not lewd, but passionate and descriptive. Nicole Fiorina really excelled at her craft with this one.

Beautiful, heart wrenching live story that spans lifetimes

This book is so beautifully written, listening to it was like falling into a world crafted from poetry. With just enough witchiness to keep you on your toes and a love that tears my heart out every time. I absolutely loved this book the first time I read it, but the audiobook just elevated it to a whole new level. Love love love it.

🕷

As soon as I found out about this audiobook, I started looking forward to it right away. I've been wanting to get into this author's audiobooks for some time now. I started listening to it as soon as I could and to the Tales of Weeping Hollow world I went! I really enjoyed this listen so very much!

Nicole did it again!

This story is chefs kiss! It’s like anything I’ve ever read. I was losing my mind… such a great time.

Perfection!!

The narrators did such a great job at bringing this story and the characters alive.

Great, complex characters.

I absolutely love the author’s prose and writing style. This story is great and gives all the feels. That being said, I had a lot of moments of confusion as to what was going on in the story. I love books where the story unfolds in pieces, foreshadowing, etc., but something just didn’t click for me in this one. It could be a me issue. Either way, I loved the characters and the world.

wistoragic

wistoragic in every sense of the word. the most hauntingly, heartbreaking, beautiful story I have ever read and listened to. bone island feels so much like it is a part of me. it's story, it's characters, it's love, everything. this story is everything. the narration was absolute perfection, I felt every feeling and emotion. I laughed and cried, smiled and wept. it was as though I was transported to bone island and weeping hollow... and I never want to leave.

In love

Beautifully written with all I could want from a gothic romance. Hope we get one for all the Hollow Heathens.
