This inability and defiance leads to Nita becoming a commodity instead of a supplier of the “unnatural” black market. The main conflict of the novel comes from Nita herself her love for dissecting the bodies that her mother brings in clashes with her inability to kill a live supernatural boy. Nita and her mother are not only “unnaturals” but Nita’s mother also hunts “unnaturals”. However, these “unnaturals” are not completely loved by their human counterparts and are sought after by a range of individuals who wish to sell their valuable body parts. The world of “Not Even Bones” is set in the real world, but introduces a group of people called the “unnaturals” who are supernatural beings that coexist with humans. Her experiences showcase the “us vs them” mentality that is unique to her characterization as an anti-hero. In Rebecca Schaeffer’s thrilling novel “Not Even Bones,” Schaeffer explores the thin line that divides what is defined as good and bad within her main character, Nita.
