A blessing fills us with a sense of purpose, contentment, and alignment with our true selves.
His name is Rogan Kendrick, and he’s certain that someone is hunting down and taking my kind.
It deals with secrets on all sides and is a bit funny at times, though I do think Asher was trying to hard to incorporate humor and pop culture references.

A blessing fills us with a sense of purpose, contentment, and alignment with our true selves. It propels us forward, giving us the motivation and energy to pursue our dreams relentlessly. We cherish these blessings, and they remind us of the beauty and abundance that life has to offer.
The Bone Witch (The Osseous Chronicles #1) by Ivy Asher
I never thought in a million years that the bones would choose me.
The power, the magic, was supposed to go to someone else in the family. I was counting on it.
But now my Grammy Ruby is gone, and here the bones sit on my kitchen table.
I thought bitter relatives would be my biggest problem. But I’ve barely had time to find a familiar before trouble comes a-knocking. The kind that possesses smoldering green eyes and a smile that can turn any woman dumb.
His name is Rogan Kendrick, and he’s certain that someone is hunting down and taking my kind.
According to him, I’m next.
This is a world that I never wanted to be a part of, but magic gives no fucks and takes no prisoners… At least we have that much in common.
I don’t know what my ancestors were thinking when they chose me, but I’m going to give them a run for their money. My name is Lennox Osseous, but you can call me the Bone Witch.
Overall I liked this book. It seemed a bit more mature and complex than Ivy Asher’s usual books, which I appreciated. Lennie is surprisingly chosen as next in line to be the Bone Witcher. She has never taken her education and schooling on the subject seriously, because why would the bones choose her when her know it all cousin exists? Low and behold, Lennie is now the head of the Osseous line and has to navigate learning her new powers in a world she doesn’t know much about and facing a crisis.
Lennie is pretty scrappy of a character, though I found her lack of interest in her family’s work a little annoying. She has a very interesting family dynamic, which was quite entertaining, and while I did find her a bit annoying and naive at times, she was overall a fun, enjoyable character to read about.
I really don’t like Rogan. He did some shady things and then the Asher wrote ‘excuses’ for him as if that makes it all okay. I really hate that trope, when in my opinion, if you are somewhat of a shitty character to start, the only way to redeem yourself is through actions, so I guess we will see in later books if he does (especially to my standards of redemption.)
The plot if full of action and fairly fast paced. It deals with secrets on all sides and is a bit funny at times, though I do think Asher was trying to hard to incorporate humor and pop culture references.
The book left off on a bit of a cliffhanger so I am dying to see what happens next. This book is available on Kindle Unlimited. Let me know what you guys think of the book!

Yet, alongside blessings, life also presents us with curses. A curse can take the form of failures, disappointments, loss, and hardships. These experiences challenge us, test our resilience, and make us question our abilities. Curses force us to confront uncomfortable truths and face our deepest fears. While these moments may bring pain, sorrow, or frustration, they also hold great potential for growth and transformation. Curses allow us to reflect, learn, and become stronger versions of ourselves. They teach us resilience, empathy, and compassion. They force us to reevaluate our goals, dreams, and values. We learn that failure is not the end but an opportunity to grow and improve. Curses allow us to appreciate the blessings in our lives on a deeper level, as they remind us of the fragility and impermanence of everything. Both blessings and curses are intertwined, and one cannot exist without the other. They shape our journey, provide contrast, and offer valuable lessons. Each day, we encounter a mix of both, and it is our response to these experiences that defines us. Gratitude, resilience, and an open mind are essential in navigating life's blessings and curses with grace and wisdom. In the chaos and unpredictability of life, it is crucial to acknowledge that each experience, whether a blessing or a curse, serves a purpose. They both contribute to our growth, enriching our lives in unique ways. Embracing both the blessings and curses of life allows us to tap into our potential and find meaning in every circumstance. Ultimately, life is a delicate dance between blessings and curses. Embracing the journey, with its ups and downs, enables us to fully experience the richness and depth of existence. By recognizing and appreciating both sides, we can lead a more fulfilling and purposeful life, guided by gratitude, resilience, and the wisdom gained through blessings and curses alike..
