Human laws do not apply in the territory controlled by the Others–vampires, shapeshifters, and paranormal beings even more deadly. And this is a fact that humans should never, ever forget . . .
After her divorce, Vicki DeVine took over a rustic resort near Lake Silence, in a human town that is not human controlled. Towns like Vicki's have no distance from the Others, the dominant predators that rule most of the land and all of the water throughout the world. And when a place has no boundaries, you never really know what's out there watching you.
Vicki was hoping to find a new career and a new life. But when her lodger, Aggie Crowe–one of the shapeshifting Others–discovers a dead body, Vicki finds trouble instead. The detectives want to pin the man's death on her, despite the evidence that nothing human could have killed the victim. As Vicki and her friends search for answers, things get dangerous–and it'll take everything they have to stay alive.
From Goodreads:
My first review of Lake Silence
In this engrossing and gripping fantasy set in the world of the New York Times bestselling Others series, an inn owner and her friends must find a killer—before it's too late.…
Crowbones will gitcha if you don't watch out!
Deep in the territory controlled by the Others—shape-shifters, vampires, and even deadlier paranormal beings—Vicki DeVine has made a new life for herself running The Jumble, a rustic resort. When she decides to host a gathering of friends and guests for Trickster Night, at first everything is going well between the humans and the Others.
But then someone arrives dressed as Crowbones, the Crowgard bogeyman. When the impostor is killed along with a shape-shifting Crow, and the deaths are clearly connected, everyone fears that the real Crowbones may have come to The Jumble—and that could mean serious trouble.
To "encourage" humans to help them find some answers, the Elders and Elementals close all the roads, locking in suspects and victims alike. Now Vicki, human police chief Grimshaw, vampire lawyer Ilya Sanguinati, and the rest of their friends have to figure out who is manipulating events designed to pit humans against Others—and who may have put Vicki DeVine in the crosshairs of a powerful hunter.
My second review of Lake Silence
My Review:
I loved reading these books! I put off on reading Lake Silence last year while I was rereading the series, because it focuses on Vicki and the gang and The Jumble and Sproing, and I knew Crowbones would have us with them again. So when I got approved for the ARC of Crowbones I dropped everything to devour both of these books!
I read Lake Silence twice in the space of about 4 months. I just love this world so much, and getting to know this new area with these new characters was so great. And I loved spending this time with them again, dealing with the clip tie group, and their machinations towards Vicki's property from the divorce. It's such a great read!

Crowbones was utterly fantastic! This mystery isn't personal for Vicki, though there are quite a few dead bodies around her, which is not fun. But she's the Reader for the community, she's important. And I loved seeing that!
We know more about what's going on because of the Them perspectives, but boy, was it still so confusing as to what the heck was going on. As things progressed, it made sense, but there were a lot of moving pieces. So it was an excellent mystery!
I absolutely loved reading these books, and I can't wait for whatever is next from Anne Bishop!
