Boneseeker
June 17, 2014
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.

I love the BBC Sherlock series and as a result I love anything Sherlock Holmes and Watsony. This looks like a perfect young adult re-adaptation/ addition to their story!
Also cool that this is already out.
A little to creepy for my taste. But i hope you enjoy it when it comes out :)

This sounds like such a cool interpretation of the Sherlock stories! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW!
That's exactly what I thought. We all love Sherlock and Watson, so wouldn't their kids be ever better? I'm especially interested to read about who the baby mama's are :)

I'm usually not one for historical books but this one sounds soooo good, I'll definitely have to check it out when it releases!
ReplyDeleteI adore historical fiction! I think this one will be less of a historical and more of a mystery so it shall appeal to all.
