Apparently, I am really bad at determining if a book is part of a series just from reading the blurb on the back. For instance, I had no clue that Right Behind You was the seventh of eight novels written by Lisa Gardener to feature the characters Quincy and Rainie.

Book Review: For You and Only You by Caroline Kepnes
I…think I’m kind of over the whole You universe brought to us by Caroline Kepnes. It’s in that weird stage now where the show is a season ahead and not at all what the latest novel, For You and Only You, was about.

No fear though, if you were a fan of the first two novels, then One of Us is Back will be easy to pick up on right away.

Only after I’ve finished this hefty crime thriller did I find out it belongs to a series written by Faye Kellerman. In fact, Bone Box the 24th installment of the series. Fail. But, my mother was kind enough to pick it up for me, and not many parts of the book ended up being confusing, which was a relief. With that being said, let’s get into it!
