Nita has spent years dissecting bodies and helping her mother sell various parts of “unnaturals”, humans with strange abilities that can be both deadly and odd, on the black market. Nita finds conversing with the dead far easier than with the living, but this way of life has kept her in part ignorant of the world outside. When her mother returns from a hunting expedition with a living, breathing young man as a prisoner, bent on selling his body parts one piece at a time, Nita must decide what kind of person she is going to be. If you’re easily squeamish when it comes to blood or severed body parts, Not Even Bones may not be the novel for you. But if you’re like me, you’ll appreciate that Schaeffer takes her gloves off in this one, so to speak, embracing the gruesomeness of the story and testing her characters at every turn. There are no clear-cut good and bad characters in this one. Though you may root for someone like Nita, she isn’t without her flaws. But she like many of the other characters are very human. They show selective empathy, making good and bad decisions in equal measure. Sometimes they are forced to ignore other people’s pain and sometimes they even delight in it. In the end, they are just trying to survive in a world that decided they are less than human. Not Even Bones is the start of a unique and deliciously disturbing series that challenges both its characters and its readers. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unique approach leading to thrills, chills, moral quandries--can't put it down! *by D***K on Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2018* Nita’s mother is a sociopath. She kills “unnaturals” and brings them home for Nita to dissect and package for sale on the black market. Nita enjoys her work until one day her mother brings home a boy her own age and expects Nita to help her with vivisection. Nita defies her mother and liberates the boy. But her mother punishes her by letting her be kidnapped for sale of body parts. Lots of suspense. Nita is making friends with another sociopath who is a “Zannie.” Zannies are unnaturals who feed on the pain of those they torture. But Nita has the ability to modify her body and make it immune to pain which means she is safe from this sociopath—or is she? ### ⭐⭐ What A Shame *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2020* So before I start with anything, this definitely should not be in the YA section. It's full of gore and scenes of torture that I believe adults would be more adapt to handle. I can read quite a bit of anything before it crosses a line. Nothing in here really crossed a line for me so nothing really bothered me. I just would not want my teenage child to read a book like this imo.Anyway, this book is just dull and boring. I have no issues with violent, gory books. In fact, for the most part, I tend to enjoy them when it makes a point. In comparison, I read a book recently that had more gore than this book (descriptive to the point I could taste the blood on the pages) and even that didn't affect me. This book just drags on and on and goes in circles without making a point to the story. It's also paced quite strangely and doesn't flow very well. Nothing makes sense in Nita's world for the reader to connect. I wanted to connect to this story and root for both Nita and Kovit a lot. I really wanted to enjoy their arcs for what they were (I've read the second book hoping to achieve that clarity and was sadly disappointed).Here's what I liked about the book: it's different from a lot of things out there. It deals with morality, right and wrong, the grey of inbetween and what is means for those characters. It doesn't try to paint these characters in a good light but it does try to make you want to root for them (regardless of how bad they are as people). I like books like this that make me really try to answer difficult questions regarding the value of lives.What I didn't like: there was no impact to these decisions. Nita is too back and forth all of the time with herself without really having a reason to kill people. I really liked reading her conflict with injuring a live person compared to a dead one she was so familiar with, but then it's like a switch was flipped after her first real human kill. And the consequences as to why they bothered her weren't written well. The idea was there, it wasn't executed properly and the delivery fell flat. I get where the author was trying to go regarding Nita and her need to survive, but I actually related to Kovit's inner conflict more. He was written better than Nina and I understood his lines, his rules, his thoughts and decisions. I think it also has to do with that Kovit saw himself as a monster regardless of everything and so he was more distinct from Nita.Anyway, I just wish there was more to the story because in the past two books I've read, it just drags and has things happen for no real reason and it hasn't built up Nita imo. I haven't seen her really grow as a character in a way that makes sense to me. Kovit has grown a lot and changed in a way where I feel for him and his crazy persona. I like Kovit and this may have been done better from his point of view because at least the author got him right. Such a shame because the idea behind this story is amazing. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/143899247-not-even-bones-1-market-of-monsters-hardcover-september-4](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/143899247-not-even-bones-1-market-of-monsters-hardcover-september-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
