- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Bone Factory by Nate Kenyon is a quick, chilling horror story that will have you racing for your child’s room to make sure everything is okay. As the story begins, Dave, Helen and Jessica Pierce are excited to be moving to the Jackson area as Dave finds work on a hydroelectric project taking shape in Canada. What they don’t know is that a farmer has been found mutilated, a little girl has disappeared from her home, and deep in the woods a deputy found a gory storage shed all near this hydroelectric facility. Has Dave been hired as a Patsy? Can he protect his family so far away from civilization? But the house is paid for by the company and the family is sequestered at the finest resort in the area until they can move in. It seems like so much good fortune that it can’t be true. Helen is a devoted teacher that just wants to do right by her daughter. She has been really stressed in the months Dave has been out of a job. Dave is a very educated engineer who just wants credit for his own ideas and is trying to make this job work for the good of his family. The most exciting character in this book is Jessica herself who has extraordinary visions and intelligence. Even the location is a character in this book as it plays its part in chilling, slowing and isolating the characters. The theme of this book is definitely horror of not providing for or protecting your family and learning to believe in the unseen and in psychic powers. This book made my heart race. It was fast paced and a quick read. The characters were believable and I enjoyed the mention of places familiar to me. If you are sure you want to be scared make sure your family is around. I give The Bone Factory a big thumbs up and would recommend it, especially for camping out.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Nate Kenyon's debut novel BLOODSTONE was so good, that his follow up, THE REACH failed to compare. And sorry to say, BONE FACTORY also fell short of his auspicious debut. Too many ideas in this supernatural mix to make this a satisfying read. He was trying to incorporate the basic premise of THE SHINING, isolation and a child psychic...and a serial killer on the loose...And it fails to provide the expected chills and by the end I had a "So what attitude"... He failed to engage me with any of these characters and that really is the major flaw here....I couldn't wait for it to end.Sorry Mr. Kenyon,but from here on in, my book dollars will be spent on other authors.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Okay book. It didn't keep me on the edge of my seat but I didn't find myself wanting to rush through it either. Parts of it especially at the end were very nail biting. I just never got totally caught up in the story. In the end it was just a quick easy read that rated little more than 3 stars.
