MASTER OF SALT & BONES by Keri Lake: ARC Review

Master of Salt & Bones by Keri Lake
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

With Master of Salt & Bones, Keri Lake sent me into the most intriguing, mysterious, eerie whirlwind. In other words she blew my mind!!!


If I can recommend you one thing, it is to experience this story without any prior knowledge of the plot. I did, and wow, it was so good!

Let the author transport you to the Blackthorne Manor. Let the atmosphere surround you, let the characters suffocate you. Let the weight of the island haunt you. And let the sensuality warm your body.

"A paradox of racing toward death in order to feel alive.


Be warned, the universe of Master of Salt & Bones is dark. It gripped me from the very beginning and until the last page.

The alternating between present and past kept me wondering... Oh! Did I doubt...who to trust? What is real, what is not? What happened? Trying to elaborate theories was really fun, as the rumors and superstitions play with your head.

"There’s a heartbeat inside this place, however faint, hidden beneath its bones."


I still have goosebumps thinking about the concepts Mrs Lake approached. Whoah...Once again she showed a frightening side of science!


Lucian and Isa carried the plot with brio. Their personalities never left me unfeeling. Damaged souls, the scars telling of their demons, they know what they want and go after it. They cultivate the well-kept secrets. Both of them played their cards with intelligence, as the twists, menaces, revelations are exposed.

The sizzling sexual attraction had sparks flying! Although the connection was indeniable and evident, I love that they took their time.  

"Maybe that’s the reason they call him the Devil. Because the madness that breathes within these walls is as real as the man who feeds it."


Join Lucian and Isadora for a gripping and breathtaking realization. Enjoy!
