Book Description:
Arabella
Holmes was born different and raised different. After it became apparent she
wouldn’t fit the role of a proper 1900′s lady, her father, Sherlock, called
in some lingering favors, and landed her a position at the Mutter Museum. The
museum was Arabella’s dream; she was to become a purveyor of abnormal science.
What her father called a BoneSeeker.
Henry
Watson arrives at the Mutter Museum with a double assignment–to become a finder
of abnormal antiquities and to watch over and keep Arabella Holmes. An easy
task, if he could only get her to speak to him instead of throwing knives in
his general direction.
But this is
no time for child’s play. The two teens are assigned to a most secret
exploration, when the hand of a Nephilim is unearthed in upstate New York.
Soon, Arabella and Henry are caught in a fight for their lives as scientific
debate swirls around them. Are the bones from a Neanderthal … or are they
living proof of fallen angels, who supposedly mated with humans according to
ancient scrolls?
Sent to
recover the skeleton, they discover they are the second team to have been
deployed and the entire first team is dead. And now they must trust their
instincts and rely on one another in order to survive and uncover the truth.
My
Take On The Book:
The
opportunity to read this book was utterly exciting for me. Sherlock Holmes
& John Watson have interested me for many years. I love reading about them
and their many adventures. :D As a child, I recall listening to the tales of
Sherlock Holmes and always getting super excited when I got the chance to
listen to them on the radio. (I still do this when it comes on my Sirius xm
radio.)
I jumped
into this book with no thought of sleep and read it well into the night. I
couldn’t put it down, save for a food break and only because my best friend/roommate
made me.
Arabella
Holmes as it turns out, is now one of my absolute favorite Heroines and Henry
Watson, a swoon worthy hero. The characters, the development and the storyline
progress so seamlessly making this story an epic next generation read. Together
Arabella and Henry make one of the most noteworthy couples. Different and still
retaining that adorable and occasionally sizzling factor.

Quills
I was whole
heartedly recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a bit of mystery (duh there
is a Holmes involved), some intrigue, a lot of romance and a dash of the
supernatural. I can only hope that there will be more adventures with this
lovable duo, even though I couldn’t find anything to state that this was part
of a series or a planned series.
I will also
admit (with no shame may I add) to vividly seeing Robert Downey Jr as Holmes
and Jude Law as Watson whenever they were mentioned or made a debut in the
book. I’m not sure why except that I felt the author’s portrayal of these
character closely resembles that of
